Any combination of teams can be beat. Some are better than others, but sometimes even things like luck factor in. 1114, 217, and 148 all built great robots that were functional, efficient, and durable, had incredible students, mentors, drive teams, pit crews, and coaches (etc.) supporting them, had obviously done their scouting homework, had great strategy, and were well-matched in that they worked well together. But by the end of the season, in those last few matches on Einstein, there were moments where each of them looked a little bit worn out. It happens, even to the best teams. I'm not sure which teams on an alliance could beat them- there are a lot of good teams, but I'm not sure which ones would have the chemistry and strategy to beat that alliance- but I'm sure it is possible, because no one is infallible, no matter how good they are.
