When you are limited to 45 discs + floor pick-up your alliance will starve itself before the end of the match due to your FCS' ability to unload every few seconds. Instead, an "enforcer" could be used to protect the FCS from any blockers. After all, the maximum height of a FCS will always be shorter than the maximum height of a defender. Once the FCS has don't its job, the defender has the time to do its climb, preferably a climb-and-dump or just a 30.

Therefore, an alliance that could easily make Einstein is:

1. A tall full-court shooter that is relatively accurate.
2. A floor pick-up robot that can clean up any misses and shoot 7 discs in autonomous.
3. A quick climber with a drivetrain strong enough to hold up against robots trying to go through it. Preferably with dumping capabilities.

I concur that these are the types of alliances that will show up out of half of the divisions.

It may come down to a bad cRio, a disconnected battery, or (hopefully not) the FMS.
