What makes them so good? Is it the collective drive to get good enough to beat the powerhouses? Does FIRST Canada have a really good mentoring program? Does all of that maple syrup make them somehow super robot-minded? Did the new wildcard system present many new opportunities for them? What is it that makes these guys so good?
I think the radioactive pulsation of awesomeness got blown westward from Michigan over the border and caused the Canadian teams to become even more awesome than they already were.
