Very few teams in FIRST history, if any other, can say that with definitive proof. 71 out-engineered everyone.
But....I ranked their 2002 bot ahead of their 2001 bot. Why? Because of what you said, it did have to interact against incredibly well engineered machines....and it still DOMINATED.

FIRST could really throw a kink in the whole "Drive Train Arms Race" by switching back to 4v0 for a year.
