Guys,

I can guarantee that 1114 and 2056 did not make complimentary robots on purpose.

If I know the guys on 1114 (and I do ... very well), they did an analysis based on opportunity cost and did a value based analysis, including the probability of how many teams can pull off the 30 point hang.

What you are seeing is exactly what some of us expected. Early events will be dominated by auton + floor load, but that will change as the season progresses...at least that is the theory. Math supports this claim.

Paul
