Who is the highest possible scoring alliance out there?

[lemiant]

It is perhaps easiest to start from the maximum points and count potential points missed.
Theoretical maximum is:
- 90 Auto (3 disc + 5 disc wing + 7 disc)
- 165 Teleop Disc (45 white in the 3pt = 135 + 6 coloured discs in the pyramid)
- 90 Climb Points (3 30 point climbs)
= 345 points

There are a number of classes of robots which may be used towards this goal.
Cycle + outside climb and dump - While 67 & 1114 are the two best known, there are others. For example 1334, our alliance partner from Western Canada. 1918 also fits here with their demonstrated capabilities (since using their 5 disc auto just gets in the way of someone else's 7 disc auto)

Cycle + 7 disc + inside climb - The only two I know of are 254 and 1986.

These can be used in three configurations:
1. Use both the autos to get a full auto, but lose 10 climb points because one of the inside climbers can only climb to 20 and lose 4 disc points by using two colored discs in the 3pt goal.
= 345 - 14 =331

2. Use two 30 pt climbers and one floor pickup auto. Get full climb and full disc, but lose 6 points to scoring the last two auto discs in teleop.
= 345 - 6 =339

So that gives us 2 of (1114/67/1334/1918/??) and 1 of (254/1986) for 339 as max. The only hope to get those last 6 points is if some little known team with a floor pickup and external climb+dump gets a 7 disc auto working or (less likely) one of the big name floor pickups adds an climb+dump.

With all that said if I had to pick an ideal alliance I would (meaning best in the real world not ideal conditions) I'd be more inclined to pick (2056/469) + 1114 + (254/1986).

...or maybe just three cyclers.
