I didn't mean for it to be implied that NO inspiration came from the champs. The dozens of RCA, RAS and EI winners would surely provide excellent sources of inspiration, but I think that the much smaller number of HoF teams could provide the condensed, powerful version of all of those teams combined. So that's not to say that *all* teams at champs will be robot-based, but hopefully the majority of them would with a little bit of a bye for HoF teams to add that inspiration.

Plus, some HoF teams have some killer robots year in and year out.
