For one specific case, in 2009 how did 254 get knocked out in Division Quarters?

This robot, easily looks as good as any team on Einstein.
Lets clarify your question. Which are you asking?
a) What type of robots win? (this would require year by year analysis)
b) What type of teams win? (this allows for answers of a broader time-spectrum)
c) How do teams win championships? (This can be answered with a JVN quote:
"Winning an FRC World Championship is not about luck.
Winning an FRC World Championship is not about skill.
Winning an FRC World Championship is not about hard work.

Winning an FRC World Championship is about working hard to get as many of the planets into alignment as possible and having the skill to make sure you're ready to go all the way if you get a little luck at the right time.")
