Keep it simple and you will win.
And of course you say a catcher will win because that's what your team built. While I don't doubt that strategy will be successful (we almost did it, ourselves), I don't think that will be the only "perfect" alliance. Any robot that can get 18 balls, no matter how they do it, will be successful. So, I think more generally, the "perfect" alliance will have one really good small ball bot and one good hanger.
