As far as I know, there are no perennial champions: only one team has won Einstein more than once (they did it twice). Can anyone confirm this?

EDIT - Others have shown this to be incorrect; sorry.

I agree with this. The more ways to score, the more diverse the game. 2008 was the most diverse year I've seen because there were so many things you could do - herd balls, hurdle balls, place balls, cross lines, knock balls off the rack in autonomous - that each scored a different number of points. 2009 was the least diverse, IMO, because the only way to score was to put moonrocks (or e-cells or supercells) into baskets or deliver them to the refueling stations, which were effectively just more baskets.
