I think the ideal alliance would be a
1: super scorer that can get big numbers quick (40+ points a match)
1: decent bot that runs empty cells and scores moderately well (15-20 points)
1:defensive robot that either defends your super scorer from pins or pins the other teams super scorer. (10 or less points)

The reason i don't say 3 super scorers is because of what i saw at Midwest. Yes there where other factors to the loss by 71 and 1114 in the quarters but the one thing that i thought that was important was they got in each others way. They where so ball hungry that they ended up fighting each other for balls to score with. Also one super scorer should be enough, 1114 had a qualification match where it was the only bot on its allaince. They ended up winning 70 something to 60 something against 3 opposing bots. That is plenty of scoring to win a match.

a team with 1 super scorer would be able to allow it to do its job (scoring big) without fighting for balls with its team mates while the other "scoring" bot runs empty cells and compliments the super scorer with additional points.
