Award winning year streaks

[Mr. Lim]

188 - 12 years.

The streak ends...

Team 1718 has won at least one award in each of our 7 seasons of existence (sadly, no district/regional/championship wins yet), but what I find more interesting is that we have won 22 awards during our 7 years of existence...that means that The Fighting Pi average 3.14 awards per year!

This is an extremely sad truth, and probably the most significant casualty of the teacher's labour battle in Ontario. I have to admit, I'm more than a little surprised that 188 couldn't find a way to work around it as most of the other upper-tier Ontario public school teams (like 1114, 2056, 1075, 907, 2702, 772, 1334 and others) did.

I'd claim it's probably the least significant casualty. Who cares about trophies and awards and winning streaks? What of the students who missed out on a year of inspiration?

Sorry, I'll leave.

I didn't mean the streak was the significant casualty, although I can understand how you parsed it that way. I meant that the loss of 188 is nothing short of astonishing.

I actually was completely unaware of this happening... I'm always so saddened when a team that I follow happens to disappear from FIRST. Especially such a low number, the Canadian regionals just won't be the same without them.

This year when it was announced that the Niles (MI) district event was being renamed and moved a bit north to St Joseph, I realized our team won the Niles event the only two times it was being held. Solidifying us as undefeated at Niles

I have no doubt at all that 188 will still be present this year in the form of event volunteers, and I am also certain that 188 will return for the 2014 FRC season. It is still a shame that they had their 2013 season scrapped by political unrest where students clearly got the shortest end of the stick.

The Spikes' winning streak grew a year older yesterday, when we won Gracious Professionalism by Johnson & Johnson in the Israeli regional, for the 4th time, and for the third year in a row! (2009,2011,2012,2013)

We are happy that our streak is still alive, ever since the team was started back in 2007.

What is the longest GP win you know of?

The Robodox, Team 599 have won the GP award at least once each year since 2008. The total is 11 since 2003 (including the "Sportsmanship" award in earlier years).

It is a record we are most proud of!

Congratulations Spike for their GP win in Israel and their long GP streak!
