That's a good point. The robots themselves have changed as well. This is due partly to kit changes, but it is also due to the fact that teams have been around for a long time now and they know how to develop a more complex robot and help others to do the same. This is not to say that there weren't complex robots then, but they weren't exactly driving themselves as they do now.
