Notice that they all won their first event of the season. Some teams struggle out of the starting gate. This is where experience becomes a big factor. Having succeeded on the big stage in the previous year, these teams were ready, and probably better equipped to deal with the pressure of the elimination rounds.

It'd be interesting to see which of these teams are using the same drivers and operators as they did in 2004.

Also, they might just be good at building robots...
