I think 'steamroll' gives the wrong impression,
but they certainly played in qualifying matches in which they won, overwhelmingly. More power to them, its incredible to watch them (and your entire alliance in elims) play. As a spectator though, I find it more exciting to watch closely matched opponents.
Not everyone builds an extremely competitive robot every year. And there were certainly some closely fought battles at the Alamo. I don't mean to imply that 148, or 16, or anyone at any event puts a big chunk of aluminum on the field to squash the competition. Every single robot on the field represents thousands of person-hours of work, and every team deserves recognition for that.
