Undefeated Teams 2012
 

My team, the Bedford Express, won all of our matches at Detroit and I'm curious if any other teams that have competed in at least one competition have gone undefeated, as in they have yet to lose any match in either qualifications or finals.

Also, good luck to the teams competing this weekend!

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

Yep! We are undefeated right now :D

We tied 1 match at Tennessee (25-25). However during that match our robot blew a fuse and we were unable to shoot balls. This match was also against our eventual alliance partner team 234. We won our 2nd Finals match with 234 died on the field, and won by a double balance with our second pick team 3259.

See you in St.Louis!!

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

So here's my best shot, in a style some of you may recognize:

2056 was almost undefeated at GTR East, though they tied one qualification match (Q30, 44-44) and their elimination alliance lost the first of their semifinal matches. 1114 was close behind them (ahead, ranking-wise), but lost in Q11 against two strong robots in 2056 and 188.

341 tied Q54 at Hatboro-Horsham 40-40, but didn't lose at that district. They dropped 2 matches (Q12 and Q66) at Chestnut Hill, though were still the number 1 seed due to coopertition points. In both cases 1218 was close behind them.

Team 48 didn't lose at Pittsburgh. Neither did 1714 at Lake Superior. 'Nuff said.

Team 1477 lost Q94 and F1 at Alamo, probably the most competitive event yet outside Canada with 6 one-loss teams and no team in the top 8 with more than 2 losses. Teams 118, 148, and 488 also only lost 1 match each and formed the backbones of some impressive elimination alliances that were incredibly fun and exciting to watch play.

1477 was then undefeated at Bayou and seeded in first place by a margin of 6 Ranking Points. 624 only lost Q9 at Bayou, the match with some of the worst communication issues for them, seeding second and partnering with 1477 to win the event.

67 lost Q35 at the Waterford District 28-24, otherwise winning in all of their matches.

Team 987 came home with a perfect record and a blue banner after their visit to Los Angeles.

As mentioned already, 1023 left Detroit without a single loss or tie, as well as an impressive average of 3 Ranking Points per match. 772 (again mentioned above) just tied Q50 on their way to a victory at the Smoky Mountains Regional.

Note that there were a LOT of single-loss teams out there, but these are my personal "highlight reel" teams.

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

To add to that list, at Fingerlakes, 1507 lost only one qualification match and one elimination match, and were ahead of the second seed by 8QP. They're going to be quite a force at Champs this year.

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

I can name a few hundred teams, mine included, who haven't lost a single match this year! Though for the record, they haven't played any matches either. :p

That comes to my question: What is defined as "undefeated"? Do ties count? One team at SAC only showed up to one match and won it, so does that count as undefeated?

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

We Team829 were 11-0-1 in qualifications at Boilermaker but we wont talk about eliminations, it hurts too much. I still can't bring myself to watch the Sat afternoon video.

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

My guess is we would define it exactly as it sounds: Not defeated. As in, a team (whose alliance) never saw a defeat. If that team you mentioned only showed up to one match, won, but their alliance lost at least one of the matches they no-showed, I don't think they'd count as undefeated. Even if they never actually saw a defeat on the field, records aren't recorded on a team-by-team basis, but by alliance.

That's how I would call it, anyway.

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

That oversight is mostly a byproduct of the stream of FLR being fairly buggy for me :D . From what I have seen and heard since, they built quite the machine this year.

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

Code Orange 3476 got 13-2-1 and were undefeated in the finals.:D

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

PFT. We were ONE basket away from ruining that.

Great match though--I really enjoyed that one.

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

HAHA you sure were! I thought we lost that one! :)

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

Not to complain too much, as I am sure this is the case for many of the "close" to un-defeated teams....but, this loss was definitely attributed to dedicating to balancing the Coopertition bridge every match.

67 has yet to play a Qualification match to exclusively "win" the match yet this year. And, I doubt we ever will.

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

The following teams went undefeated and untied in qualifications:
3528, 716, 1714, 2052, 48, 1671, 987, 1477, 1895, 2168, 1230, 1023

The following teams went undefeated, but had a tie or DQ in qualifications:
772, 85, 341, 2056, 829

Of the teams that went undefeated in qualifications, 8 of them were undefeated in eliminations:
772, 85, 341, 1714, 48, 987, 1477, 1023

Of the teams that went undefeated and untied in qualifications, 5 of them were also undefeated and untied in eliminations:
1714, 48, 987, 1477, 1023

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

There are five undefeated teams remaining. Others have had undefeated events, but have had losses at another event. All five of the undefeated teams have only competed once.

1023: 18-0-0
48: 16-0-0
1714: 15-0-0
987: 15-0-0
772: 14-0-1

469 (34-2-0) has the most victories of any team. 341 (33-2-1) and 1218 (33-3) are right behind them.

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

Wow! I'm impressed at how many teams are undefeated! I'm sure there are many more that came close and lost only one or two matches. With the last few weeks of district/regional competitions coming up it will be hard to stay undefeated.

As for ties, I think that teams that have won/tied all their matches should also be recognized. It takes a ton of hard work and solid aliance partners to stay undefeated and tying is still impressive.

Thanks again to our alliance partners in the eliminations, 469 and 3175 for helping us win!

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

without eliminations our record is 20-2-2 its close to undefeated...

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

I am also Impressed! :D
Our next competition is against the two Canadian powerhouses (2056 and 1114), and another Canadian great 188. It sure will be hard to stay undefeated but i would love to continue being undefeated! We also play another undefeated team (48) in Queen City in week 6. Can't wait to see how that competition plays out! :D

Good luck to all teams in the next few weeks as we head into the second half of Regionals :D

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

We play against 48 on Saturday morning, so at least one of us wont remain undefeated.

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

OR! you can tie ;) and then yo both stay undefeated!?

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

Update, 1507 went undefeated at Buckeye! 16-0 :)

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

340 went 15-0-1 at Buckeye! ;)

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

so what is the updated list after week 5?

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

We aren't still on it.. LOL 34-4 for all matches, 22-2 for qual. I think Guerillas (469) are still pretty close to undefeated.. as is the HoT team (67) ... There were no undefeated teams at Livonia, the best was 10-2... Hope someone hangs in there, would be an awesome feat! :)

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

The "Baylor" of Robotics - 39-0 anyone?

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

469 went 18-0 at Troy and has an overall record of 52-2, where one lose came to 67 and the other to at the time an undefeated 1023. And they have yet to be a number 1 seed. 67 is 50-4, with two loses coming when the had cRio issues at Troy, 1 lose agains't 469 and another, where they cared more about the co-op bridge then winning (which is the case for all qualifing matches).

Talk about the ties between these 2 teams this year. (Two district wins and a ton of triple balances).

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

After a VERY Bad weekend Team 772 is no longer undefeated. We had many issues Friday, that cost us many matches. We are now 20-7-1.

We will be competing next week at Queen City Regional. Maybe we can go undefeated at that regional?

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

Yup, I sure hope the match radomizer doesn't match us against the two of them in one match! HAHA But, they certainly have some experience together and both have awesome stats! Definitely going to be a tough regional, and I'm sure our loss record will increase, hopefully not too much so we can go to world's!!! :) Though I know a lot of other Michigan teams thinking the same thing! :)

Re: Undefeated Teams 2012
 

987 (15-0-0) is the only undefeated remaining, but they have only played in one event. Their second event is Las Vegas this weekend.
