And I'm perfectly willing to believe that they can knock out some more. Far from being a dark horse, I'd say they're one of the favorites!

Looking back at the matches, I think you are right. The ability for this alliance to cycle boulders very quickly and double hang is what makes them so good. They are now my favorites on Einstein. It is funny that the alliance with 2 tall bots is probably the best alliance on Einstein. Shout-out to 217 on returning to Einstein where they belong. I also would like to note that 3476 is a powerhouse, in just 6 years they have been to Einstein now 3 times.
