Not to take anything away from 1114, 217 and 148... They had an amazing alliance. It says a lot when you can go into a divisional semi-final match, down a robot (and choosing not to take the alternate) and still get a victory.

Yeah, 1114 has had an amazing robot for years running, and last year had a very, very capable alliance on curie. But they didn't make it. I'd like to think part of the that difference was luck.
