What is the ideal alliance?

[XaulZan11]

What do you think is the ideal or perfect alliance? Is the key to winning three scorers? Two scorers and one defender? Two scorers and one empy cell runner? One of each? I know people will want to throw out team numbers, but lets not make this a discussion on which teams are better, but a strategic discussion of the ideal type of alliance.

I think this will be a very important and difficult decision for alliance captains in Atlanta. Unlike at most regionals, where there aren't 24 'good' scorers, in Atlanta, a team should have its choice on which type of robot it wants.

I think an alliance will need three robots with good scoring abilities. Atleast two fo these robots will have empty cell capibilites and one will be very good at playing defense. I think the more flexibility you have the better. Of course, all three will have good drivers and human players.
