We end up with 390 pts. Up to 540 with three climbs. Good gearbots that can score 6 gears each + climb make up the majority of the points with this strategy, with the fuel bot bringing the cherry on top.

This is an ideal scenario, but it illustrates what a championship alliance may be able to accomplish with good gearing.
Going to throw this out there just in case you mis-read point values (like I've done in the past). The 40kpa threshold gives a 20 point bonus, not 50, according to table 4-1 in the manual. As far as I can tell, it is the only place in the manual which states the point value of the threshold.
