Besides, maybe they were encouraging other teams to make a floor pickup (maybe at the cost of climbing past a quick 10) so they have more ideal alliance partners.

I don't think the picture says too much about 1114's robot at this point, rather than it shoots Frisbees, has pneumatics, drives, and climbs.
As stated by someone else above, 1114 wins a great majority of their matches before Autonomous is even over. The last time they didn't have an 'extra' game piece auto was 2009, and 2006 before that. (2012: Coop or Alliance Bridge, 2011: alliance mate's ubertube, 2010: climb the bump and shoot the middle segments balls too, 2008: both trackballs, 2007: alliance mate's keeper)

With a comparatively easy 'extra' game piece auto available this year, with a massive point bonus for being successful at it? There's just no way they aren't taking advantage.
