All this talk about hybrids not being as effective scorers as arm only bots has me confused. I've seen just as many hybrid scorers as arm only's. I think the key to winning Einstein is "options" and using those "options". I see nothing wrong with a 3 hybrid alliance. Having different ramp options at the end is goodnes, say in the event Paul is blocking your original ramp. Meanwhile the rack is cut in half and they aren't getting the 256 they thought they were, your other ramp partner is setting up and you jump on him.
We're a hybrid and scored 7 ringers in 2 different matches (almost 8 once), and we had partners up 12" in most of our matches (when their drive trains worked). This is the case with lots of hybrids. So picking arm only bots can be a mistake if you have these strong hybrid choices available. I.E. 330, 254, 69, 180, 179 etc etc.
Although I will say that a strong characteristic I don't see mentioned much is a bot that grabs ringers off the far wall. A lot of our matches we ran out of HP ringers and some get popped etc. and we could have scored a couple more, but couldn't go into the opponent zone during the end game to get them. So starting out by working off the far wall is a big bonus to us. I did see a few teams do this pretty well (233 was getting good at this in Las Vegas).
