Re: Most Dominant Robots By Year

IMO: 1114 built their 2013 robot specifically targetting the #1 alliance first pick position.

I think they (properly) gambled that the number 1 seed will be an 'extra-disk (most likely 7disk) auto' bot, who will want 1114's solid 3disk auto+superfast 50pt climb+4-5cycles.

If they get divisioned with 2056 again, I won't be at all surprised to see a 2056/1114/<3disk auto + FCS or 3disk auto + good defence> #1 alliance in that division. You can easily substitute 2056 here for any of the top 7diskers.

I think 1114 knew that seeding #1 would take a floor pickup (because of how autopoints are the first tiebreaker), but also knew that having the fastest climb+dump around would be what it would take to be the 1st pick. Two robots on an alliance with 7disk autos doesnt help you if they use the same 7. A risky strategy to be sure, but so far its worked. They've got their 5th triple regional win season to show for it.
