2056 showed in their second match how quickly they can score. 1114 seems just good (Really says more about how high 1114 has set the standard for themselves) However I have a gut feeling that we are not seeing their full hand. I have a feeling 1114 wants to shoot full court, however without a top tier floor loading bot on their alliance many of those discs are wasted. They kind of remind me of 469 (I think) when they had the hang and redirect bot (2010? Im old and memory is the first thing to go.). They are just good enough to keep winning when not playing theirr strategy, but nearly unstoppable with the right partners.

I am basing this on watching exactly one match each for these robots, but I think that tomorrow when 1114 and 2056 play together you will see what 1114 was built for, I think that will be shooting an absurd number of discs full court then performing a 50 point hang/dump with 2056 cleaning up the floor (and probably setting the single robot scoring record).
