Re: Another Culture Change

If we are sharing 1114 stories then I will share my "this is why they're so good" moment about 1114.

My team was at IRI, the game was Overdrive. I had never had much exposure to 1114 other than a brief conversation with Karthik on the floor at The Championship so I really knew nothing about them other than their great bots.

We took our bot to the practice floor and there was 1114, they were tweaking their autonomous mode. They had by far the best bot that year with an amazing autonomous mode but there they were taking the time to squeeze out just a little bit more. They never stopped trying to improve even when they were already great.

That's why they are the best and that's the story I will gladly share with anyone I hear disparaging them.
