Normalize the question, otherwise the results are skewed and we can spend days arguing. "Best in the History of FIRST" shouldn't pit 1994 teams against 2010 teams because the dynamics are completely different between then and now.

I'd suggest an era-based approach, for example a 'last 5 years' approach. Dynasty teams from the early 2000's that haven't produced much as far as mult-regional wins, Einstein or CMP awards in recent years shouldn't get love over teams that have for the 'last 5 years'.

Eras:
The old-schoolers ('92-'99) denoting the days before coopertition
The ramp-up ('00-'04) denoting the years before FRC really hit the bend in the exponential growth curve and also introduction of common COTS gearboxes
The newGens ('05-'08) based upon the old control system
GenNext ('09-present) based upon the new control system
