This was definitely 1114s year.

Totally agree, I actually said this to some of their members while walking down to the pits. I was being honest as anything when I told them that I really wanted them to win. It was just a kick*** season for them and incredible to watch in Einstein.

Yep, 1114 had one sexy Simbot this year. Their Champion title attests to a great game design by the GDC, the right team won.

Hopefully all the animosity that was buzzing about 1114's head has gone, and the FIRST community can congratulate them wholeheartedly.

I look forward to seeing you all on 1114 at IRI, though most likely you won't be seeing myself and Taylor with/against you on the field there... we try out new driveteams (aka look out world ).

Are you guys (1114) losing many people before next season? It would be awesome if you guys could keep enough of your group together to do it again!

Congratulations Simbotics and Simbot SS!

p.s. 217/148: It's not that I don't love you, it's just it's 1114's thread.

They're actually only losing two seniors this year.

Congratulations 1114! You guys had by far the most complete robot this year. Whoever voted you second in the Looking Forward poll should have their ballot revoked ;-)

Here are some statistics on how dominating they are:

1 loss in their last 39 matches.
Scored over 100 points in all but 6 of those last 39 matches.
59-7 overall.
6 banners (ties 67 in 2005)

There's only one more thing to do before this robot can be indisputably named the best ever: Win IRI (71's best robots in 2001 and 2002 did not win IRI)

I will say that the Simbotics machine this year ranks among the greatest robots of all time. I would have to say that no one can dispute the fact that they dominated nearly every part of this years game to the fullest extent. And they managed all of this without any major damage unlike most teams. And when they were damaged they still managed to pull out the win. I'd love to see the 1114 machine up close but I guess I'll have to wait til some other time. hmmm IRI.....?

[Wayne C.]

that is certainly an understatement

I cant remember a robot that dominated a game so much since the Beatty Beast did so in 2001.

The 1114 team should certainly be proud. Congratulations

This is defintely what I'm sure everyone is thinking of as the season that couldn't possibly have been better...

I can't wait to see you guys top it next year, which I'm sure you will manage somehow.

Good job Simbotics (and ThunderChickens and RoboWranglers),

It was fun and exciting to play against you guys in the finals

Good Luck next year,
