By my argument, if they'd just scored that 4th RC in SF3 or if 1114 had just scored more totes, they could've gotten the 6 points they needed to make it to the finals. By your argument, if they'd stolen another RC from 118-1678-1671 in SF6 and scored it, they would've made it to the Finals.

Either way, 1114 had some of their worst matches of the season in the SF on Einstein... even if they and 1923 stole only 1 can collectively in both of those matches, and 1114 had just cleared the landfill and scored 1 RC, they would've moved onto the Finals.

I have to agree on the 1114 stand point. If they don't have a can on top, it fails them. also, their robot seemed to fail even with a can on top. I meant earlier on, they could score that high... my point is with all the powerhouse teams in essentially 1 division at IRI, then each alliance can put 7 stacks up. especially in finals. that is why the can battles are important. 148 would also put up 4 stacks each match with no problems. so it still was important
