469 was a finalist in their only event so far (and losing to 67 and 217 isn't exactly a bad thing).
1279 reached the finals in DC and Semi-finals in Philly (and lost to 103, 1153, and 708 by a total of four balls over two matches).
I don't think fans can all be lumped together in one group either. 45, 180, 469 and others use fans to provide a ton of pushing power (and acceleration), which enables them to pin other bots very effectively. 1279, 1731, and others use fans to improve acceleration, deceleration, and turning (in order to avoid being pinned).
