I guess I over estimated the descriptive power of the word 'deserving' in my original post though and maybe shouldn't even have mentioned the word rookie.
I had in mind teams (rookie or not) that brought something more compelling than a robot with them, something that made them stand out in spite of a hapless robot.
I certainly was not talking about pity -- just the opposite -- I was talking about respecting teams for something other than their competitive prowess.
Thanks for your perspective though, you make good points -- it is, after all, a competition.
And thanks most for understanding what I was asking.
