Re: 1114 vs. 469

In my opinion, 1114 is the best "traditional" breakaway robot out there. They score with the best of them (from any zone), they are fast, they can push, they have great drivers (as always it seems), and they are one of the fastest hangers I know of. Their robot is surely as well engineered as any robot out there. However, I'm a HUGE fan of creativity. While I do not doubt that 1114 was creative in finding ways to play the game as best as they can, 469's strategy (and execution) is amazing.

One-on-one, 1114 would take 469 almost every time. But in the elimination matches, if 469 has an offensive powerhouse on its alliance (and I don't see how it wouldn't), 1114 would be hard pressed to score fast enough to be competitive.
