Here's a bit of a practice match I was capable of taking:

Thanks! Couldn't see much in terms of the ramp that I keep hearing about but I understand the gist of it. Their landfill stacking is extremely impressive - wow.

Re: Team 1114 - Simbot SideSwipe
 

That is incredible. :yikes:

Re: Team 1114 - Simbot SideSwipe
 

There isn't much to talk about regarding the ramp. I think that you can kind of see it at Red's left feeder station in the second video. The few matches I caught, they never used it and they even bumped into it once rendering it useless. I talked to one of their members afterwards, and it appears that it is there to help alliance members feed from the station as if they are feeding from the landfill.

Team to beat at GTRC. They'll immediately be tested by 4001 and 3360 in match 1 too.

The thing that surprises me the most is how effective the kiwi drive is. I hadn't considered how beneficial 3 points of contact would be. they can basically just drive anywhere.

Re: Team 1114 - Simbot SideSwipe
 

It makes me so happy that there's a kiwi on what is probably one of, if not the best robots in the world now.

15 years of doing FRC, and every year there is still an "OH SH*T" moment of an awe inspiring robot.

Thanks for this year's version, 1114.

I'm only a fangirl over 4039 and can be pretty needlessly critical and always willing to shut down a bandwagon.

So when I say that if any robot, if perfectly executed, could easily 1-man BTFO an entire regional, it'a 1114 at GTRC. Pick 1310 to get the other 3-tote auto off the board and they could probably get through to finals until they needed a 2nd, much less third robot if they perfectly executed. That being said, I don't expect that to actually happen. Just saying I think it could happen.

When 1114 is ready enough to powdercoat the whole robot, people should rightly be terrified.

:26 seconds to stack 6+RC and score IMPRESSIVE! I think that's faster than 118.

One has to wonder though the video started at :55 so what were they doing the other :80 seconds? I did not see more than one existing 6stack + RC making it slower than 118??

They should have had more based on that video and :26 second stacks? At least another stack based on the stack built speed.

Love the design and intake though and the color!

Absolutely fabulous robot! The only other team that seems to be able to put up as many game pieces is 148... and 1114 presents the freedom of gathering from the landfill or from the HP station.

So glad to see 1114 come out of the gate setting the bar incredibly high, particularly after last year's slow start (for 1114 standards).

Re: Team 1114 - Simbot SideSwipe
 

And your video is the reason I saw their step grabber.... Man... and to think they didn't have one! lol

Re: Team 1114 - Simbot SideSwipe
 

How do they flip the RC's that are tipped? Livestream is too low-quality to make this out.
