Really? Based on the winning alliances in Oregon, St. Louis, and New Hampshire I'd think arms had a pretty good weekend as well. So far very few teams have "dominated". 1114 is typically agreed on as the best machine, but even they lost twice in qualifications, and encountered some trouble with the #2 ranked alliance in the semi-finals. 103 was as close as any individual team I saw came to dominating the competition, but they are the exception rather than the rule, and it would have been interesting to see how they would have done in Chicago.
Ultimately it comes down to your overall speed in every mechanism, not just the mechanism used to hurdle. The teams that are up near the top are not only hurdling quickly (which many arms can do), but also getting around the field quickly, removing the ball form the overpass quickly, and acquiring the ball quickly.
