I think we all expect 1114 to come out and do everything very well, but I would bet money that even without a floor-pickup, that bot is capable of many many wins. Maybe this time 1114 went for simple, lightweight and elegant, trading off an unneccesary feature in favor of allocating resources elsewhere. I look forward to seeing it in action
Karthik himself has stressed the importance of autonomous this year, particularly floor pickup. He also expects, "a huge supply of discs on the floor." I would say floor pickup is a near certainty.
