I think it really depends on the award. I saw that in some cases, where I felt that a certain team deserved a certain award, but didn't get it.
However, you have to keep in mind that from year to year, judges change, and/or perceptions change. I have a feeling that the conception may be that one team is truly deserving of the award, but the bigger question is, are they unique?
I guess I have to answer your question with a question:
Who is more deserving?
* A team who consistently does a similar level of competition and construction and has a cool feature 1 year
or
*A team who isn't as shabby, so one major achievement for them is a stick-out and really shines?
The point of awards, in my opinion, is positive reinforcement (I believe Karthik coined that sometime in a different thread) and if the team that maybe isn't always so great but earned that award one year did something really good to get it, by all means, reinforce it!
