I think you are missing the point. It was a high level of play beyond anything we have ever seen yet in FIRST stronghold. None of these teams "lost" they all gained something far more valuable than a regional win, and it's something they will carry with them for a long time.

2056 is awe-inspiring as a team, as individuals, and as a member of the FIRST community. You guys are awesome!

Now take home that championship banner!

I once again disagree. Waterloo did not IMO have the highest level of play not even close.
Was it high yes highest absolutely not.

What did 2056/1114/5912 "gain". I see 2056 who lost a very long standing streak they showed straight faces on field but lets be real here they are upset. I especially feel bad for the drivers. Then you have 1114 who had their first year without winning a regional. Lastly you have a rookie team 5912 who probably is blaming the loss on them. The only thing I see teams carrying from this is knowing they were part of the reason the streak ended. Even if they really were not.

2056 is an amazing team with an amazing robot this year. The best? no. A championships contender for sure? Absolutely.
