I have a lot of respect for 1114 and I can't think of a robot they have built as long as I have been in the sport that wasn't at least very very good. I never really bought into the whole fangirl movement they gathered over their history for a lot of reasons.

That being said, I knew when they showed off their fully-powdercoated robot, I felt comfortable making these assumptions:
a) They clearly found a design that they liked a LONG time ago
b) They finished that design that they liked a LONG time ago and I would love
c) I bet you would be better off clocking the amount of practice their drive team had with the official bot is better clocked in days instead of hours.

I'm hoping after the season is over someone on 1114 could give a timeline of how they moved through build season, because it looks like they had the robot ready to go by the end of Week 3. Not only is it a great design, they at least give off the appearance that they spent a colossal amount of time practicing with it.
