I'm inclined to add 1086 to this mix. They have very good ball capture and handle abilities in addition to a very high-powered catapult. Their drivers learn very quickly and know how to maneuver their mecanum drive through traffic very well without getting penalties. They've repeatedly knocked the ball off of their own side overpass in hybrid and the only reason it was slow was b/c it was designed to ensure alliance members were not in the way.
You'll see them in Atlanta: they won VCU finals and VCU chairman's.

Any team that picks 3 hurdlers that are good hurdlers. (E.g. 1114,217,330) Would be at a disadvantage, because it would be 3 people fighting for balls

This depends on your point of view. It is much more efficient to offensively score than to do preventative defense, in my opinion. 3 partners who have a system for handing off balls to each other may benefit their score differential more than one of those bots could while playing defense on the opposing alliance. It's all just an opinion though.
