With all this talk of 1114 and 148 being the dominating robots in Curie, I think it is important to mention that neither have demonstrated an ability to place a co-op stack on the step. They can both build one in auto, which makes it really easy for an alliance partner to just pick up and score, but if 1114 and 148 have to trust other teams with their oh so important average score with a 40 pt co-op stack, I can see many situations where their ranking can slip out of their control.
I would say 1114 and 148, if they were to join forces, would most likely make it to Einstein finals, but that all depends on their ability to seed in the right place in quals.
Or opposing teams could just decide not to coop with them. Might not be enough to stop one from still seeding first though.
