The reason for this was their near flawless execution of just getting to the top every match. They did not disappoint us as they climbed to the top in all 9 of our elimination matches.
Why weren't there more teams like this? No offense to 4451, they are a great team. However, if a rookie can build a robot that can deliver consistently enough to do this, why didn't more teams? Someone please correct me if there were but I don't remember any other bots off the top of my head that did that.
