Human Factors
Miss interpretation of RUUDY 4 departure procedure. The altitude at WENTZ was supposed to be a hard altitude of 1;500 FT MSL and I misread it as 'at or above 1;500 FT.' I overshot the altitude by 200 FT. There was no conflict.
EMB100 Captain reports exceeding the WENTZ crossing restriction during the RUUDY4 departure from TEB. The departure procedure was misread as at or above 1;500 FT at WENTZ.
