I agree totally. SOme teams have built their reputation and being a dependable team over and over again, so i can see why they would be ranked in the top 10. People pick that for many reasons, as the people that did post 'their' top 10 robots, gave reasons for it.
However, to say these are the best robots at these activities, with out an explanation can be hurtful to some of these teams that may have been better or worse that many of these teams that people recognize.
So it is difficult to say, this robot is the best offensive robot, or this robot is the best ally. FIRST can be a game of odds, the odds of who your partner is, whether or not they will work or not. Your robot is judged based on performance, and if some say, well they were only good because of good allies. Well that also says they were a good ally with a good strategy.
Every team has the capability of being the best robot, however they do not always get recognized as so.
