Sorry, but that title (though not the lack of dominance) has to go to 233. Consistently in the eliminations, deep in the eliminations, especially at the Championship. Never won Einstein gold. I looked, and saw something like 3 finalist showings and a couple of division wins other than those, but not the biggest of all. Like I said, though, they aren't showing any signs of a lack of dominance.

51 can be ruled out of that category due to the OTHER team that merged, 65. (47 alone can stay in. 51, nope.)


60 is one that really sticks out. Any Bionic Bulldogs machine before 2005 could just about win by showing up. After the 2004 season, though, they seemed to fall off the radar. Recently, they've been doing better, though. This, for reference, is the other half of 254's first collaboration--which sparked massive discussion in 2004 when they built identical robots.
