Wouldn't necessarily want 2 of us on the same alliance, but to a high goal team that doesn't move very fast, we're a better complement than another slow high-goal bot. For some shameless boasting, I might also add that the #1 pick (a high-goal bot, whom the team agreed was the 2nd best bot) lost as our opponent but won as our alliance partner.

just a quick fact: the maximum number of points that a team with two low goal scorers can score is 54 points.
-22 balls in low goal (which is a little above its max.)
-posession of the atlas ball
- both robots park on the platform
despite this fact, a low goal scorer's speed and agility could compliment a high goal scorer.
