Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year

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.
You can make all the points about how 1114 WILL be the most dominate robot at champs, but as of right NOW it is clear that 2056 is the most dominant robot (out of the two). 2056 has the highest overall OPR, the highest CCWM, the best record, and have been first seed; picking 1114 at all their events.

You can make the argument that 1114 can climb and dump; but 2056 can do a 7 disk auton due to their ground pickup, and to some people, that is more valuable. 2056's auton is not defendable, atleast not without a ton of penalties. 1114 can be stopped from climbing by a robot that can't even climb; albeit it is a very difficult thing to do.


Overall, 2056 has proven themselves the top contender for the most dominant thus far; however with MSC and MAR champs coming up this weekend, and Worlds around the corner, there is a lot of robots that'll give them a run for their money; 469 being one of those that hasn't been mentioned thus far.
