Lists like this are purely for fun. They are not intended to downplay the efforts of any team. I'm sure your team does a lot for FIRST. These teams we mentioned may have done more or at a significantly higher level though.
Read Carol's post as well if you feel this way. We are just making a list of teams who are dominant in the competition that takes place on the field but also off the field.
For example, just because my team wasn't mentioned does not mean I think any less of my team. This is just for fun. If you let it mean anything more than that to you, then I can't help you there.
Back to the list: 254 and 233 should be up there because they are two of the best teams in FIRST who have yet to win a CMP. Both are also very inspiring to every other team in FIRST.
