That drive train has come a LONG way since we "got our hands" on it. It's shed pounds, lost size, and become much more simple... It's the same concept with some of the same geometry but at this point it's been almost fully redesigned since 753 had it. Not to mention that 6 teams used that drive train this year, if it was just the drive train that won regionals then I should have expected to see more of them win.
I do personally believe that there is much more to being the "best team" than winning regionals, while I'm bias I will be the first to admit that 1540 has come an amazing distance in 6 years. They have competed in the top tier every year since their inception, held off season learning events for local teams, mentored lego teams.... and the list goes on. They would be my pick for best team in Oregon.
