Of course--they haven't had an opportunity to build a recognizable brand. If you had to buy a plane ticket, right now, to see a regional where Simbotics was competing or a regional where Los Pollos Locos was competing, where would you be flying? Why? If I weren't affiliated with the latter, I'd probably be flying to Chicago to see the team with three or four years of dominant robots.

experience in good building and engineering practices definitaly helps, but as far as actually playing the game, this year, I think everyone really does have just as good a chance as anyone else

No, they don't. Experience helps, but then how do you explain five-year teams that have worse-looking robots than rookies? There will always be teams that show up at these events that don't have a prayer, veterans and rookies alike.
