Maybe any other knows where I can find information about what and how (without a lot of explanations) build the robots that compete in 2009 & 2010 FRC
The inherent paradox of your request is that there ISN'T a simple explanation of how to build successful robots. They're usually built by students and mentors who spend MANY units of TIME on the robot and its subsystems. Check my sig for a good book on the myth that "Poof, I built a robot in a day" is actually how things get done. With that said, here are some key search terms that may help you find threads -- pay close attention to the URL's for the pictures: usually the URL's are part of an album of MANY related pictures:

images.google.com
"FRC 2010"
"FRC 2009"
+FRC "Drive Train"
FRC Elevator

Here are also some direct links to my favorite presentations / lectures / notes on the subject:
http://thinktank.wpi.edu/tag/2 -- General mechanical presentations; most are videos with associated white papers in the "CD-Media" section (link is at the top)
http://www.andymark.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=194 -- Andy Baker's presentations, though I don't know if they have 2009 & 2010 robots

Good Luck!
