I think driver skill is also a huga aspect, at the NJ regional our drivers tried the same idea time and time again (trying to hang using the hook and winch idea), but after we decided to take a different course of action (take out the winch) we went on the win 2 out of 3 of the rest of the rounds that day, both by 100 or more points.

As for luck, i think autonomous is the biggest example of luck, especially with dead reckoning, the things that occur during those first few seconds could make of break the whole round.
