I think comparing your team to other teams is not a good way to judge how you fared in the competition.
The team I'm on now has been around for a long time, but we struggle every year with making parts. A lot of our effort goes into keeping things simple. Last year, our robot couldn't place any balls, couldn't go over the rail, and couldn't go under the rail. We could grab 2 goals and consistently balanced. We ended up 19th after the seeding rounds at the Nationals. We didn't get picked, but we were still happy because we had overachieved for a team of our size and sponsorship.
Don't look at Delphi/etc and think "they are better than us", look at your own team and think "we did pretty %%%% good for what we have".
