So there's that.
Yes, I'm sure they do. However, the real questions are: How fast is it? and "Is somebody clever enough to build a faster one?" 1114 is a great team top to bottom. However, they are all human. They can be beaten. If they don't have the fastest canburgler, they are vulnerable.

Do I think they will most likely win? Certainly. However, I really believe that FRC is a competition and I plan to compete - there is no reason to roll over. Am I 90% likely to lose? Yup. 99%? Probably. However, I am going to do everything I can to try to beat them.

Let's not deify that pair and, instead, find some way to better them. If we prevent them from gaining any center bins, they will lose. I'll give them the 206 points calculated above. That won't get them out of the quarterfinals either. They need at least one (likely two) center bins just like the rest of us.
