Congratulations to Perfection. Team 987
 
15 and 0 at Los Angeles.
17 and 0 at Las Vegas.

A perfect regular season in FRC. I'm in awe.

Congratulations for this miraculous feat! :ahh:

Good luck at Championships!

Absolutely wild. Has there ever been a team that has pulled off the perfect season including championship?

I believe the closest was team 25 back in 2006 who went 31-0 in two regionals (NJ & LA) and then had their first loss in their 6th match at the championship.

Kudos 987!

EDIT: Forgot 1114.

I do not believe so. In 2009 Spartan Robotics 971 was undefeated in eliminations (with 1 tie), but was not undefeated overall.

Also a huge congrats to 987 for becoming the first team to win four WFFAs. You have some fantastic mentors who certainly deserve it!

1114 was the closest (to my knowledge) in 2010. They were undefeated in all three of their regionals (they did have two ties). They only lost one match on their division (which was the famous 29-0 match) and then went on to Einstein where the lost the two final matches. 987 definitely has the machine to go all the way this year.

I feel it's worth noting that 1114 only inadvertently lost on Einstein. Their Curie match was a "hostile 6v0" type match, so I wouldn't count it as a blemish on their record.

Congratulations to 987! Best of luck keeping that going at the Championship.

I think the answer to my question might be no. What about the legendary 71 2002 robot?

They lost plenty of matches. That robot was a winning robot, but not a qualifying robot.
If I remember correctly, the rankings were based on the losing teams score. Their strategy of grabbing all three goals didn't work well for qualifying matches.

I believe they also lost one of the finals matches on Einstein to 180 SPAM, but I could be mistaken.

In 2001 everyone was a winner (except for the audience who had to watch).

Ah yes, I remember that well. Not only was it their first loss, but we slowed them down so much that we had to score for them at the end in order to boost our ranking points. :)
