This may be biased, but I love 217's robot. I'm not surprised at all that 1114 picked them. Many of their issues that they encountered in the eliminations didn't happen until then.

They never broke their latex in the qualifications (or at least I don't think they did). They cannot really be blamed for tipping (it was really of no fault of their drivers), and that electrical problem was a one-time thing...

I practiced with them for hours leading up to this. Their robot is so simple in so many ways. Their drivers are so extremely skilled and they're extremely nice.

Other robots that impressed me (on Galileo) were 254, for their slick shooter-like design, and 195 for their awesome hybrid. Of course, 1114 is also one awesome machine for... well... everything!
