Congratulations for this miraculous feat! :ahh:

Good luck at Championships!

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.

They did lose at Midwest against 93 in a qualification round when 93 was able to slam into the goal before 71 and lodged the goal into 71's robot essentially disabling their robot. Ahhh the days before bumpers....

Congrats though to the High Rollers. This is an amazing feat for an amazing team!

Congrats to you folks Joe!
32-0 is no easy feat, especially since co-op points are needed to stay on top.

See you in St. Louis.

Thank you all for the comments and congrats! We all feel honored to be mentioned in the same discussion with the incredible feats of such amazing teams and machines as Team 25's 2006 robot, Team 111's 2009 robot, Team 971's 2009 robot, and Team 1114's 2010 robot.

We were certainly fortunate to have had favorable match schedules in both regionals (a first in our 10 year history) and an amazing alliance partner in 1717 who covered for our glitches in the LA finals.

That being said, we think that the additions we made between LA and Las Vegas (drop down beater bar/ball collector and software tweaks which have vastly improved our scoring output) along with our veteran driver, Jake Mauro (76-8 FRC career record, 4 regional wins, 1 division win, 2011 IRI #1 pick), will demonstrate in St. Louis that we are worthy of our record this year.

Thanks again to all and we'll see you in St. Louis.
