The 2056 Streak has ended!

[Sperkowsky]

Wow, after all of these years FRC Team 2056 OP Robotics have lost a regional.

I feel terrible for all of the teams involved but this is history right here.

I never thought it was going to end but it has happened.

Congratulations to team 610, 1241, and 3560.

It is also worth mentioning that this is the first year since 2003 Simbotics has not won a regional.

The scale would have tied the match. Wow.

Missed a great opportunity for cause some outrage over the silly tie breaker rule.

Looks like that prediction of 2056 losing a regional then winning worlds is holding up so far.

[IndySam]

It just shows you how amazing a streak it was that a thread was instantly created to mention it.

Time for OP to start a new one.

when was that predicted? They could go to 3 regionals for the next 8 years and win them all to get it back...or 4 every year for 6 years. What an amazing team!

They lost worlds by 1 foul point. Ouch.

And the other streak continues another year. Feel really bad for those guys. 2 heart crushing game 3 defeats in the finals

[Michael Hill]

Yeah, I was really hoping 2056 would pull it off. It stinks to lose like that.

Tell us about it. We were honored to have 2056 take an interest in us and were excited to have the opportunity to work with them. For a team like us, it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Even though every team on our alliance did our best, the creeping feeling that we let them down is undeniable.

2056 has our support and hopes that they don't have to wait much longer before they get their much deserved big moment.

You did not let them down. In fact, that was one of the most impressive defensive performances I have seen this entire season, and especially at the championship. I was rooting for your alliance not only because of the 2056 first win, but mainly because I was awed by your teams' impressive show of defense. You were able to effectively shut down three excellent offensive robots enough for your two partners to win and come very close to winning. I truly believe that a high caliber alliance in any game (that allows defense) is the right mixture of a strong offense and effective defense, both of which your alliance displayed. So amazing performance guys. While I understand the disappointment may be present, just know that you put up a fantastic and formidable alliance and I was honored to have been able to witness the most entertaining final in recent history.

I really hope everyone understands the magnitude of 2056's streak. It isn't normal. It will never happen again. Hats off to 2056 for consistently striving for excellence.

Maybe the end of the streak will lead to a world championship!

Sure were some great finals matches at the Waterloo Regional!

Congratulations to teams 1241, 610, and 3560 for the regional win!

Huge congratulations to OP Robotics Team 2056 on the greatest streak in FIRST history! I am sure that 2056 will continue to be one of the most inspirational teams in FRC both on and off the playing carpet!
