I think 548 embodied the best parts of the whole cheesecakeing trend by continuing to help teams even when their personal interests were no longer at stake. I was definitely hoping for 548 to get to Einstein so we could see a 548 v. 1711 matchup, kind of an ironic master/pupil showdown.

Not getting to see 1114's harpoons in action was unfortunate, and I'm convinced that the burglars 254/973 debuted in the Carson tournament could have beaten anything we saw on Einstein. According to 254, they could snag the cans in 120ms. They were shockingly fast in person.

I would like to mention that our can grabbers were only operating at 80% power the whole event. We could have run as much as 120% power if we really wanted the cans. Our can grabbers really could dial it to 11, but it would be brutal on the driving mechanism and we deemed the wear and tear to not be worth it and turned out to not need it.
