I think 25's robot from 2006 could also be considered as one of those "Greatest Robots Ever Created" even though they didn't win Championships.

But yeah... the problem with this year is that there isn't a very impressive task to take on. In 2002, you could drive down the line of balls in a handful of seconds and earn hundreds of "wows" like team 95 did. In 2007, you lift two robots in a second like 1717 did.
