Re: 1114 vs. 469
Not much love out there for east coast teams on your top bots lists? We had first hand experience with 1086 & 25 and you would be wise to have them on your radar.
Back on topic... There seem to be around a dozen teams worldwide that are clearly out performing the rest. That puts around 3-4 per division. Put 1114 and any other of the top bots on the same alliance and 469's alliance has a problem. 1114 can sit on defense and they are fast enough to break the cycle. Even if they don't break the cycle completely they will clear enough balls from the zone. Its 2v1 going the other way and 1114's partners will run up the score.
If I had a top bot and the first pick with both 1114 and 469 available, I think I would pick 1114. Truthfully, I might make the same choice with a top scorer other than 1114 as well. It is a tough choice for sure.
