Like everyone before has said: Visibility, Team Name, Sprit, Filers, an Awesome BOT....High ranking, should be what makes the perfect Alliance Partner, But unless you are in the top 8 you'll be in line hoping to be picked like the rest. Remember the reason we're here, build a bot, and learn a lot.
One thing this game is stressing is real life. One task Many different individuals with different strengths working to do it better than any one else. Some say I want more competition (kinda but not like Battle Bots)Dean, and Woody, and the rest of the FIRST org. cane up with a game that allowed Teams with little experience and less funds to play with the super teams.
Instead of being a spoiler in a match. Just getting the way of a Bot trying to score.
The Alliances reflected this usually they were 2 Big Ball Bots a Balancer and some combination of Limbo Bot, Tug Bot, Ramp Bot, Bridge Tender Bot.... well see what I mean.

Anyway TEAM!!... 236!! TECHNO TICKS!!!!
