Event wins aren't the only ways of judging teams, and can sometimes be misleading since not all events are created equal. For example winning TVR as a NY team can be seen as more difficult than other NY regionals since 195 came last year and won and 359 is coming this year. Actually knowing the robots beyond the results is important. 340 and 1511 have built really well designed robots over the last 4 years and are also great teams off the field, each winning multiple chairmans awards.
