Congratulations to Perfection. Team 987

[Steven Sigley]

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!

Good luck at Championships!

[jblay]

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 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.

Hmm... I guess we "inadvertently" found a way to win it all in 2 matches :-) but yeah they had a great season and we loved working with them in 2011.

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.

71 did not lose pleanty of matches in 2002. They won almost all of their matches but because the qualification score for the winning alliance was 3x the losing alliances score they would always score either 0 or very low. 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!

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.
