The floor loading advantage in auton (24 points) offsets the additional points for climbing to level 3.

I think 2056 evaluated the game very well and delivered an excellent machine which executes a very effective strategy. Well done 2056.
I also think 1114 has executed a great strategy. This year may be one of the first years where there is a drastic difference in Regional level and Championship level strategies that drive robot design.

Don't get me wrong, 2056 has a great design and will be very successful this year; however, I think 1114 is built for a higher caliber of competition/alliance members. By Einstein, I suspect most teams will be shooting 85-90% if not higher. How many discs will really be available on the ground? Yes, auto floor pickup is great and is needed on an alliance, but not every robot needs that capability.

The ability to climb to 30, and what appears to be a setup for the 20point dump, will be much more valuable in the end. Not to mention they are a corner climber so this doesn't really impose any limitations on what other 30pt climber is on their alliance.

Yes, 2056 will steal the regional competitions. But I suspect 1114 to be a much more valuable asset to an alliance on Einstein.

Just my thoughts.
