I agree that overall 233 has been strong, but let's not forget how dominant 16 was from 1998 to 2000 (2 Regional Wins, 2 Finalists, with some of the best robots I've ever seen). Along with a very strong run from 2002-2004 (3 Regional Wins, 2 Finalists, all in an era prior to the dilution of regionals).
