Dream Alliance of Stronghold

[414cnewq]

What would be the best alliance for playing a game of Stronghold?
(Outrageous match scenario Optional)

[M217]

IMO it'd have to be 971/195/254.

Together, they have a shot at pulling off 2 2-ball autos, all 3 can scale, and teleop high goal scoring is absolutely unreasonable.

EDIT: Other Honorable Mentions that could potentially be on the dream team:
-1678
-148
-2056

EDIT II: Obviously this alliance is optimized for triple offense strategy. If your idea of an ideal alliance is 2offense+1defense then that would obviously change things. Off the top of my head I can't single out a definitive #1 defense bot this season.

By IRI rules, these robots could have 3 2-ball autos
I agree this may be the single highest scoring combination.

1678, 254, 971

With all three bots doing a 2 ball auto. (Low bar, rockwall/rough terrain, moat).

And all three bots can hang (if 254's hanger doesn't break)

971 and 1678 are phenomenal shooters, with 254 close behind.

I could easily see these teams having a over 300 point match.

Yes but 1678 never successfully hung while at champs.

Uhhhh...that's not true. They did miss a couple late on Einstein but they did hang plenty of times.

I personally would take 2056 over 195. Sacrifice the 2 ball for basically a bot that is very hard to defend/stop. But 195 is definitely on the list. Another team that I think deserves an honorable mention in regards to defense is 1405.

[Caleb Sykes]

971 had the most proven 2-ball auto during the competition season, so they definitely get a spot on the dream team.

The dream team would certainly not include a bot that specialized in defense during the season. Even if the dream team opted for a defensive strategy, one of their great offensive robots would easily fill this role.

[TheBoulderite]

1519, 1619, and 1719.

Another great alliance would be 2451 (PWNAGE), 4060 (SWAG), and 2202 (BEAST).

I'll think of more. Don't worry.

The New England dream alliance would be 195, 1768, 1519, and 125. Of course this would be a champs style alliance because of the 4 teams but whatever.

Any NE alliance needs to have 133 in it. 2nd best team behind 195 in the region.
