In theory, perhaps, but in practice, 1114 has played with 2056 more times than they've played with 2826. Plus both robots are capable of tote stack autonomous modes and 3 capped stacks from the feeder station. Sure, 2826 has the 28 point autonomous mode, but those extra 8 points should be fairly easy to come by at IRI with the additional containers anyway, and 2056 is the more versatile, adaptable machine.

I would rely on scouting data to make that decision, and educated discussion about match strategy. I could not make that call right now, so I had 1114 picking 2056 because it makes logical sense to.
