Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year

The point I should've made is that Simbotics will—I guarantee it—be extremely dominant on champs where it counts; OP can pick up off the floor, but many, many teams will be able to do that. The field will be picked clean often, and their feeder station pickup is slower than 1114 since they need to pick it up off of the floor from the station whereas 1114 just lines up and loads.

Also take into account the biggest factor... climb. 2056 can climb for 10, 1114 climbs for 30 razor fast and can dump for 20 more. 1114 is the more dominant bot, and they will make a bigger impression at world champs.

My comment about OPR was because you were referencing wins; wins does not equal absolute dominance over every robot in FIRST, just in those regionals.

As for the most dominant out of everyone, I have no idea. Tons of contenders, probably will be very tough. Please note to everyone that I mean the most dominant, and while that might be thought to be a clear-cut thing to have no dominant bot some years, the point is that it's the most dominant, not the greatest margin of dominance from the next team. It can be very close; it's up for discussion. That's the point of this thread.
