Are 1114, 217, and 148 beatable?

Our gripper is actually a lot more at risk when it's out in the open field without a ball- that's when people latch onto it and rip it apart, and we have to stand there and watch. We can still play with one of our four "fingers" broken though, sometimes even two. Not sure how well it would compare on the Einstein field, though.

I'm gonna have to agree with you that 1124 does not belong in the winning alliance, but for other reasons. As much as I love my team and our robot, I don't think that we can achieve the same efficiency with our arm as a lot of the launcher robots do. The best of the best launcher robots always seem to outscore us, even if only by a little, but a few points here and there add up.
