Funniest thing I've seen all day.

It's funnier if you realize that it was impossible to lose a match...because that was the 4v0 year.

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.

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.

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!

No links yet to our last match...as luck (bad luck) would have it, we had a system crash on the webcast computer less than a minute before the last match. I believe we have footage of the match somewhere and we will eventually post to You Tube I imagine. Basic reason for close match was inability of our partners to double balance as one of them tipped over while trying to balance during endgame.

Since at least 2002, only one team has gone undefeated at the Championship. Name the team & year.

I just posted video I took from the stands of Finals Match 2 on YouTube:

http://youtu.be/AInP_uZwlBU

It mostly focuses on the red alliance side of the field, but you can see both bridges. I've got another video one of our students shot from "courtside" that I'll get posted as well, but it doesn't show as much of the full court action.

Here's the link to the courtside footage of Finals Match 2 mostly following Team 987: http://youtu.be/J3kOo14gmkM

Maybe someone from our friends on 2034 will be able to post video of the blue alliance for this match.

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.
