The only downfall for this alliance would be if 1477 would happen to jam up in a match. If not I would be hard pressed to find a better alliance this year.

Our reigning world champions? No way. They collectively leave way too many climb/dump points on the table. That alliance made Einstein with a well executed strategy to take advantage of some well-timed luck. If 1114's climber was working properly during CMP Elims, 1114/118/4039 would have eliminated them. Both matches were won by a smaller margin than 1114's missed climb.

Don't get me wrong, they're still 3 of the best robots of the year, but that alliance is far from the "optimal" Ultimate Ascent Alliance.
