Re: Team of the Decade

My vote is 71, three World Championships is pretty good from what I hear. I very much disagree with people who have said they aren't quite what they used to be. In my opinion they maintained their high status even after winning three out of four championships. Since I am lazy and don't want to look at regional performances, I will just use their championship performances.

2005-#3 pick (eliminated first round)
2006-#4 pick (barely beaten by 176/111/122)
2007-#2 pick (championship finalists, nearly won it)
2008-#1 pick (eliminated second round after robot malfunctions)
2009-#4 Captain (Eliminated first round)

It isn't like since they won the championship they have stopped showing up. They have lost some close matches and some heart breakers. They still show up with one of the best robots year in and year out. More importantly is that they haven't missed elims at championships over this decade. Something only a handful of teams can say.
