It's pretty close, Dr. Joe. "2056" and "losing regionals" don't work in the same sentence--because 2056 has not lost a single regional event they've attended (started in 2007). 1114 is no slouch either--they've not lost any events since 2005, when competing within Canada.

Though, there's finally a guarantee that those 4 teams will not be in the finals of a Canadian event--none of them is registered for Montreal.
Forgive an old man's memory. Yes you were right the 2000 game was awesome. It was the 2001 4V0 game that I use as an example of a game that would have killed a lesser competition.

As to 2056 and not losing, I refuse to believe that all the talent* in Canada has settled in two teams. That is all I am going to say on the matter.

*and not just engineering talent because it takes much more than that to consistently do well at FIRST
