While there are always so, so dominant, I would have to agree. They are putting up points that seem to be about the limit of what one robot can do on its own, at least without a major change in the dynamics of the alliance. While they will continue to absolutely crush, other top tier teams will likely catch up to some degree.

This year (as of the Ed Law spreadsheet I looked at before making this post, which was post-Week 2; I haven't run the numbers yet for Wk. 3), they were slightly over 8 standard deviations above the mean.
