Any other alliance, as Joe said, would have been defendable in different ways, but against three hurdlers we needed the ability to go head to head.
The point of my anecdote: Even as a 2nd pick who never played in the eliminations, having that 3rd pick allows alliances flexibility in their strategy. Very rarely can an alliance of three robots dominate so much that they can run the same strategy against anyone and still play the game they want to. Just imagine what golf would be like if every player only got a driver, an iron, and a putter. IRI gives players that extra club to work with.

I agree with you Chris,and also Joe . This was a nice option for our alliance captain 968 to mix and match our teams according to the alliance we were competing aginst. Plus it was a bonus for team 910 as we were able to be a part of the six keeper match!!!!!!!!
