I´m not necessarily disagreeing with the responses posted... but it makes you wonder when 968, 971, 987 & 1114 are the only ones of a potential 30 (I understand there are some repeat-appearances for teams) that are less than 10 years old.
In addition to the ones you identified...
In 2005 503 was 4 years old, 330 & 254 were 6 years old, 65 was 8 years old, 56 & 67 were 9 years old...
In 2006 522 was 6 years old, 296 & 217 8 years old, 195 was 9 years old
In 2008 348 was 9 years old


So actually using your analogy, 15/30 teams were less than 10 years old when they won championships. Thats 50%.

And while its an interesting point, you are only judging by robot performance at championship. There are A LOT of factors that I don't have exact numbers for but I would be willing to guess more "older" teams go to championship than younger teams. Rookies are ONLY allowed to go if they qualify.
