Why do people think this? Not to pick on specifically Drakxii, but almost any interesting poll has multiple comments like these. It doesn't seem to do anything but reinforce the casual elitism on this forum.
Clearly, teams on Chief Delphi have some advantages that should make their robots and teams better, but besides the general consensus is there really any evidence of this? There are some very top tier teams with active members on this forum, but there are also plenty of teams that are either basically rookies or show off robots that are typical of the average competitive FIRST robotics team I see at competitions.
I'm sorry if I come off as rude, but I think that dismissing this poll (or any poll on this website) on the assumption that most of the 300 people who have already responded to this poll are on far better than average teams does not seem to do anything except cheapen the discussion.
Thoughts?
