Budge has VERY little to do with those team's success, I bet if you gave that same group of Students and Mentors 5K to build a robot they would be 80-90% as competitive.
Take for example the team I helped start 2809, this year they ended up only having 2 weeks to build their robot this year, Kit drive train, lots of wood, and a very simple shooter. They were the 6th pick at FLR, and 3rd pick at GTR East, says alot about the quality of the students and mentors running the team this year.
