The best hurdlers around can not compete without another exceptional hurdler at their side. This was seen very much in NJ when 1114 was blocked constantly. They would have lost that match if it wasn't for the shooting power of 1024. 1114 could have been shut down in an instant if it wasn't for their partner.
Put both of these two together and you have the following: Not a single robot can bring a team to victory, and any team who has a proven record of getting things done are the only teams that are going to shine and pick/get picked.
idk, my reasoning kinda sounds like blabbering. haha

Team 11 was the only hurdler for the #8 alliance in Chesapeake and they went on to win all of their Elimination matches. So with the right strategy a single hurdler can do it on its on, given their partners stick to the jobs the alliance determined.
