They were paired with 1323 in eliminations and many times both of them simultaneously hit the HG and 1323 was on of my top HG scouted bots they just need more consistency.... 5817 once locked in does not seem to ever miss and its a straight trajectory to the goal.
The only reason they did not rank higher was their issues with their swerve.
I would put them (when working ) right behind 254, 1678 and on par with 973 when they are on so that is really good HG company to keep. The swerve though makes them in ways harder to defend sometimes if you cannot move like they do.
Actually I am surprised 1678 ans 254 won so handily in Finals but I did not see it first hand as we were packing up. Probably I gather a boulder starvation thing only so many boulders with high flying HG bots.

They were just an extremely OP alliance IMHO. 3970 harassed us quite a bit, and with only one wheel working in finals, it was impossible to evade them. However, we did manage to challenge with one wheel, and also set up a screen for 1323 once.
