We have found what you look for in the third round out partner in a
alliance is someone who doesn't run up any penalties on a regular basis
and is willing to work with the alliance and do what is needed.

Sounds simple but ask anyone who has Scouted and sometimes you don't
find those qualities in teams.

I agree you need to have 3 hurdlers to do the job in Nationals. All the
machines should be able to switch duties at a moments notice. If you
don't have the ball run laps or clear a path for your team or knockdown.
