How many of these great teams took their "originally designed/fabricated structures" from stop build; to first match to test the length of the season (off-season events)..?

It'd also be really interesting to see how the performance of some robots changed as they got more and more beaten up. In my team's experience, There's sometimes a noticeable change by the time off-seasons come around. (I'm just glad there's not much video of MARC 2014.) Our longest season was this year, at ~79 matches. Only midwest (excluding Michigan) team I can find that had more was 2826, with 84. (Perhaps 1730 had more, depending on what offseasons they went to) I could be off a little bit, as I don't quite remember how many qualification matches there were at R2OC this year.
