Comparing 16 to 4334 is hard to do considering 16 was a completely different robot from top to bottom. You can't compare 4334's 4wd to a swerve drive that has been years in the making by a veteran team like 16. 4334 was a much smaller robot making them a much better tripling robot.
I doubt 2826 and 1114 would have won IRI without 4334. Because without 4334 they probably wouldn't have been able to triple and 4334 played some extremely tough defense against opposing robots like 148.
Back to the topic.
Cool moments of 2012 include the beautiful hybrid by 1519, 1983, and 181 in quarterfinal 2-1 on the Newton field. 5 balls scored in 3 seconds.

4334 pushing 148 back over the bridge at IRI.
118 and 1717 going head to head in Newton qual. 129 and tying 71 to 71!
