I agree with Karthik that alliance selections are based off of the best robot available, but I also think team history can make a difference. Team reliability is one thing that can factor into alliance selections (from what I've seen, I'm not claiming this is what 469, 217, or 1114 do). Maybe some teams don't do it, but I know if I had two robots that preformed the same on the field and one of them was 217, I'd probably be more inclined to pick 217.
