The most common sense answer I can give is that whatever combination of robots that yield the highest score possible all the time.

As for the actual combination of robots¡K I have no clue at all. It's not because I am stupid (I really isn't), but because as of now, I cannot predict what kind of robots and how many of them are going to be there. If you are talking about functions that robots can do, maybe I CAN give a estimate of what combination of functions will be perfect¡K

It¡¦s just that this year the game really gave a lot of freedom to teams for designing their robot. There might be some part of the game that attract teams to do a particular function, but really there can be a lot of different robot that can do different combination of functions. And there is no telling if this robot combine with that robot will be perfect.

And then, there are always a chance that all the robot will be the same, all of them going to balance the bridge and no ball pickers. So, in that kind of situation there is no telling which kind of combination will works the best, neither. The standard of ¡§perfect¡¨ can be different from place to place, or regional to regional, or division to division.

We just have to see the competition to know which turns out to be the best. I bet that at National, most of the teams will be experience enough from regional that they will not have any trouble picking partners.

But then again, maybe that's bad... maybe that eliminates the chance that teams will boldly explore the possibility of a different combination instead of the one they used to win regional.
