What are teams looking for in a 3rd and 4th alliance member?
  • Consistent auton that puts a ball in the tower, high or low
  • Penalty free
  • Does their task at a high level
What else? What's a high level?

Another question as well, can a defense-dedicated robot be selected, or does it make more sense to take the top available scoring machine and cheesecake on a blocker? How about a defense robot with a scoring autonomous mode and a climber?
Did you mean that 3rd and 4th alliance members score a boulder autonomously? Or that the team has a consistent autonomous mode, and also puts boulders in the tower during teleop?
