The degeneration is real. At New England District Championships in 2014, 195 was performing at its peak during quals. Once elims came around (somewhere around match 80-85 of the season), anything that could've gone wrong on the robot, did go wrong. Some of the problems still weren't solved by the end of Worlds. A lot of the moving parts were completely replaced for off-season, but the robot never performed the same again.
