It may be appropriate to consider how effective it's possible for a robot to be within a game. I think that's the argument to be made for 254-2014, that it's hard to imagine a robot that's more effective. Maybe it was possible for 1114-2008 to lose, but they were incredibly effective.

As for 469-2010, there's no robot from the past decade that changed the game as much as they did. When they stepped onto the field, they became the focal point of the match. That describes their impact better than "effectiveness," because I don't think they added colossally more value to their alliance than the other elite robots of the year (1114-67-2041 might have won against 294-67-177).
