you might want to focus on building the perfect alliance machine, that will complement the ones who are most likely to win those top 8 spots.

Its all about strategery! :^)
Like I've said before, there are 2 types of robots. The ones that will score high but not win every match because their means of winning is far too risky, and the robots that will win every match, but win it with a low score. The former will be the ones picking their alliance partners. The latter will be the ones being picked because they ensure victory.
