1114 still comes out with a couple more points, but you can't really have more than one 1114 on an alliance (if you only do 2 coloured discs you come out behind). In the same vein, you can't have more than one 118 or 1477, because the centerline doesn't yield enough points either, and is easy to defend. Limited resources enforce balanced alliance strategies.

That also assumes that the 7 disk autonomous was perfect which from what I'm seeing, most of the time it is not. In fact no team in this division has an autonomous opr more than 30. I think just the reliability of 1114 climb outweighs the unreliability of shooting.
