From what I have witnessed, 2 epic hurdlers and 1 very quick lapbot seem to do the best. But if you have 3 hurdlers that are all fast, designating one of them as a lap bot will also work. That's what we did at MWR and it worked very well.

of course, having 3 swerves didn't hurt

yeah that was my original idea, three hurdlers all really fast could do the same job and on top of that if one of them breaks down its a realitively small loss becuase the desinated lap bot could just start hurdling.

however the only disadvantage i can find(its not too big either) to having another hurdler is that you would have another tall obstruction of your view while trying to hurdle; meanwhile if you had a small low lapbot you could easily just bob and weave through jams and no matter what happens you can easily rack up points and to the hurdlers there will only be 4 other bots in their way instead of 5

the only problem i see with that alliance is that only 1126 can get the ball down.

I'm surprised that 1731 hasn't been mentioned, but i'm not sure who i would say is the ultimate alliance yet.
