Well the thing is they don't necessarily need to have 2056, just a robot with similar capabilities as them.

Yes. But when was the last time 1114 built a robot that was designed in such a way that, in order to be effective, they require their alliance partner's to have other certain characteristics? Generally 1114 builds the robot that does everything, and then selects robots that complement them nicely. It almost seems like this year 1114 has put themselves into a situation where they're going to need their partner to fill the design gaps they weren't able to achieve, instead of the other way around.

Also, it says a lot about the consistency of 1114 as a team when we're sitting here wondering why they don't have a robot that can do everything after being amazed by the robots that can.

This is true, they are still putting up insane points without 2056, so they are in good shape. I'll put it to you this way, most teams in FIRST would gladly take 1114's robot right now.

That 182 included massive penalties.

Match 26, however... 143-25... 2056's alliance had 60 in Autonomous alone. I think we know who first seed will be. That's an impressive bit of robot.

Really enjoying the webcast and the music variety!
