Kudos 987!

EDIT: Forgot 1114.
Team 25 actually came to Las Vegas, not LA, in 2006. They finished 1st seed and selected Team 987 as their first pick, so we were side by side on the field with them for the final six matches of their 31-0 regular season. Their 2006 robot is still one of the best I have ever seen.

Maybe someone from our friends on 2034 will be able to post video of the blue alliance for this match.
Team 2485 has some footage of the blue alliance side. The match itself starts at about 0:30. Congratulations again to 987, 3245, and 2844; you guys were an incredible alliance and we were honored to come so close in the final match. Best of luck at champs!

A perfect regular season in FRC. I'm in awe.

Congratulations for this miraculous feat!

Good luck at Championships!

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.
