So now...
2001: 71
2002: 71
2008: 1114
2010: 469
2011: 254
2012: 1717

...Seems to be the general consensus, at least.

Putting a robot in 2012 doesn't really make sense, as there was no "most dominant" robot that year. 1717 had a great robot; however there were other great robots just as good. 987 for example was undefeated until Curie; and they ended up being World Finalists. 341 had 4 gold medals and a division silver. 118 had an amazing robot on Newton, they didn't get as much notice because of some sensor issues on Einstein.

I could keep going, but I think it makes more sense just to leave 2012 blank.
