If I wanted pictures of the 2006 Bobcat Robotics machine from the championship this year, I could search "frc177 robot championshipevent2006" but why is the year tied to the competition?

Shouldn't year be it's own tag? Wouldn't it make sense to tag a photo with "year2006 iri" instead of "iri iri2006"? Then date isn't tied to competitions, it's its own tag. If you want a specific competition year, you can search with more than one tag ("iri 2006"). If you wanted a specific year's robot, you can search with more than one tag ("frc177 2004"). If you wanted to see someone's old crazy hair, you can search with more than one tag ("Ogre 2006").

Let me know if I'm crazy.

There are yearly tags... Search for 2006, 2005, etc. and see what you come up with.
