Lol... this must be your first year doing FIRST.
Realize around 105% of the game is luck... for example, the team in the pit next to us came to competition with a frame of aluminum extrusion, worked on it, competed in 2 qualifying, and was seeded 10th.
The game is not fair in the sense that a perfectly working robot will not always win. A half working robot may somehow get to the top. A great team may be deprived of a worthy victory.
That is why in FIRST, the most important things aren't the victories but the accomplishments outside the competition. Winning or losing the competition means nothing; your robot may be perfect or it may be a box with wheels but with luck anything can happen. The real award comes with recognition from fellow teams and being happy yourself of what you did.
