It would be foolish to compare our SVR performance this year to 71's 2002 season. One was basically a time trial, the other was flat out domination of the opponent.
I've heard all these legends about 71, but from TBA, it didn't look like they were overwhelmingly dominant.
They won the championship, but their record that year was 30-14-4, and their OPR was never particularly high compared to other robots that year.

Is it just incorrect to judge 71 that year based on these statistics?
