Kudos 987!
EDIT: Forgot 1114.

Also a huge congrats to 987 for becoming the first team to win four WFFAs. You have some fantastic mentors who certainly deserve it!

Congratulations to 987! Best of luck keeping that going at the Championship.

Ahhh the days before bumpers....
Congrats though to the High Rollers. This is an amazing feat for an amazing team!

32-0 is no easy feat, especially since co-op points are needed to stay on top.
See you in St. Louis.

Thank you all for the comments and congrats! We all feel honored to be mentioned in the same discussion with the incredible feats of such amazing teams and machines as Team 25's 2006 robot, Team 111's 2009 robot, Team 971's 2009 robot, and Team 1114's 2010 robot.
We were certainly fortunate to have had favorable match schedules in both regionals (a first in our 10 year history) and an amazing alliance partner in 1717 who covered for our glitches in the LA finals.
That being said, we think that the additions we made between LA and Las Vegas (drop down beater bar/ball collector and software tweaks which have vastly improved our scoring output) along with our veteran driver, Jake Mauro (76-8 FRC career record, 4 regional wins, 1 division win, 2011 IRI #1 pick), will demonstrate in St. Louis that we are worthy of our record this year.
Thanks again to all and we'll see you in St. Louis.
