I do love our 08 Robot, Barricade, but I would say that 1114's was a better design for Overdrive.

1114's 2008 robot was amazing. They might have been beatable in a few matches, but when paired with another good team, they were pretty much unstoppable. Sure, if they had come out of Galileo with no scoring alliance partners and were up against 968/233 and 67/16 they could probably be beat, but thats besides the point as their dominance assured them that they would be able to pick another good robot.

The only other robots that I have heard of which came close to that dominance were teams 71 and 60 in 2002 (71 eventually beating 60 at the Championship). 1114 2008 is certainly the most dominant robot in my time in FIRST, but 2 seasons isn't saying too much.
