Re: was there anything unique about the robots that placed 1st through 10th last year

A few things that tend to get teams to the top ten.

Reliability The ability to be at full strength for every match is important.
Driver ability Having the mechanisms on the robot work isn't any good if the driver can't use them. (With some exceptions, like 45s auto balance from 2001)
Strategy Understanding the game. This may seem simple, but there are teams to go out that don't completely understand how the scoring works. The teams that do, do better because they make better decisions during the match.
