It almost seems like this year 1114 has put themselves into a situation where they're going to need their partner to fill the design gaps they weren't able to achieve, instead of the other way around.

Also, it says a lot about the consistency of 1114 as a team when we're sitting here wondering why they don't have a robot that can do everything after being amazed by the robots that can.

This is true, they are still putting up insane points without 2056, so they are in good shape. I'll put it to you this way, most teams in FIRST would gladly take 1114's robot right now.
