I would argue that 254's performance at SVR might have been the most dominant robot performance in the history of FRC. I haven't been around long enough to say for sure, but I can't imagine a robot that would be so much better than the competition.

I also don't have the numbers readily available, but I would be willing to bet that 254's OPR from SVR, put on a scale of standard deviation, would be the greatest outlier in FRC of all time.

254's performance this year was lower than the level of 71 in 2002 from what I've seen. I don't know how good 1114 did in 2008, but they would be very hard pressed to beat 254 this year.
I remember at SVR, 254 was able to do coop + 4 canned 6 stacks on their own, at least 3 with noodles. Quals 88, in a match where they were against the 2nd, 4th, and 11th seeds. That tops even 1114 performances, to the point where the OPR of 254 at SVR was 160, whereas 1114 was around 130. And third place was much lower than even 1114.
I feel like 254 could have won on Einstein if various stuff hadn't happened in quarterfinals on Carson.
