They weren't just five points away--they were inches from the title, since 179 got stopped just shy of scoring on 71's ramp.

In the modern era of FRC, 233 has been too good for too long to be anything less than The Best Team Not To Win It All. Take nothing away from 2056's impressive accomplishments, but by the time they made Einstein in 2010, Pink was over on the other side of the bracket with their fourth division champion trophy (and if you went a little further back in their trophy room, you'd see a pair of division finalist trophies in there too).
