A couple things I'd like to point out-
1) The defensive setup that worked at your specific event isn't necessarily the end-all be-all to be emulated across the world. When your opponents are prolific outer works shooters your strategy should probably be different than if they're batter shooters and should be different than if they low goal exclusively.
2) 3 cycling robots can theoretically occupy your own secret passage enough to deter poaching if an alliance is well coordinated, but a dedicated defensive robot can arguably do so better.
I think that we'll see both types of alliances in the coming weeks.

At the Finger Lakes Regional, our alliance of 5254 and 2791 picked up 2383 as our third robot. 2383 was having a bad weekend compared to their usual standards for sure, but they were an alliance captain at both Orlando and South Florida when they were working better. We helped them a bit with autonomous and their shots, and in our first quarterfinal match they scored 3 high goals individually during teleop, as well as one during auto, contributing 25 boulder points of the 82 scored that match. That was despite 2383 missing a few shots as well. Unfortunately they had issues in semifinals that caused them to start missing, but they rebounded from FLR to be the 5th alliance captain at South Florida.
