They are outscoring not only multiple robot alliances, but they're outscoring teams with tethered human player stackers - their intake is that good, their stacker is that fast...
1114 hasn't been this much better than everyone else since 2008 - and that should scare anybody who is seriously gunning for a World Championship title.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves here. You can make a very strong argument for 148 as best robot in FRC. They consistently got 4 6-stacks, 3 capped. If I recall correctly, in a couple matches they even made a 5th stack 3 or 4 totes tall. In addition, we haven't seen their robot with its 28pt autonomous yet. I think 1114 and 148 are miles ahead of everyone else, but let's not forget that 1114 is not the only robot in their class.
