Patterns?

Has anyone else noticed any patterns or coincidences in First competitions?

Examples-

The Cheesy Poofs have won the Silicon Valley Regional every year since it started (1999-2002)

The Cheesy Poofs and Team 60 have been in the winning alliance of the SVR the last three years. (2000-2002)

The Cheesy Poofs, Team 60 and Team 359 have been in the winning alliance of SVR the last two years. (2001-2002)

Kinda weird huh?

They are more a coincidence, or the teams are really good and like to work with each other

Here's a pattern...
The CheesyPoofs have won every regional they've competed at, except Cleveland2002. (Where they happened to be paired with 229).

That's right... we lost them their first regional...

Longwood robotics has the most weird luck. Last year we won our first match by falling into our scoring area backwards. This year we came up 32 out of 34 and ended up winning the chairmans award.
