Re: what kind of robot will win?

Robot C: Capper/ Hanger. This robot will get one (or two) 2x balls, and herd small balls to their HP. Then when goal (or goals) are close to being full they cap and then make a run for the bar.
Here is how you beat this alliance. Have a robot with a strong and fast drive train that can disrupt Robot C. If robot C can't get the balls to the player station or get to either goal to cap, they can't score very many points. Meanwhile, while Robot A is hanging, the second robot scores points unimpeded. Even if this second robot isn't as good as robot C, they can probably score more points unimpeded then Robot C can impeded. Then they go hang at the end of the match, while the first robot continues to harass robot C.
