Re: What is the best strategy
Personally, I think it is important to have a killer autonomous mode that can put up at least 21 points consistantly. As for the makeup of an alliance, it seems that two awesome shooters (i.e. number one picks number two) and another shooter of lesser quality is the only real way to win in a highly competitive elimination round. Two defensive robots cannot stop three shooters from scoring at the same time, especially if one of them can shoot from far away, or out of the "red zone" right in front of the ramp.
Not only that, but isa shooter is the backbot, by the time the next round starts, that robot has a full load of balls and is in position to shoot them off. The only way to stop them would be to send one of your offensive robots to defend them, which takes away from your scoring potential. I've seen alliances work very well like this at both Manchester and Boston, which seem to be two highly competitive regionals.
