I don't feel terrible for 2056. And I sure hope their members don't feel terrible about today either.
They've created what is arguably the best robot in the world this year. They've participated in some of the most intense matches of FIRST history this year. I wouldn't be surprised if they win CMP this year. If we think this is all over because of a lost tiebreaker match at the most competitive regional in the world, we need to go back and rethink what FRC is actually about -- To quote one of those cheesy catchphrases that rings with an exceptional amount of truth, this is about "More than just Robots." And it's about more than just winning. It's about Inspiration.
Yes, their regional win streak is over, capped off at 23. But they still hold another streak, even more impressive than their regional victories, that I don't think this determined Canadian team will ever lose. They've managed to inspire us,
all of us, every single year since their inception. And for that, hats off to OP robotics, perhaps the most inspirational team in
FIRST.
