Most Amazing Streak

[Lil' Lavery]

As many may already know, 254's impressive steak of consecutive San Jose (Silicon Valley) Regional wins has finally ended, at 8. The Cheesy Poofs won the first 8 Silicon Valley regionals, but lost in the 2007 Quarter-finals. They did win the Los Angeles Regional last weekend though. Because of this, I thought it a good time to start a thread about some of the most impressive streaks in FIRST history.
In my opinion:
#1- 254's 8 consecutive SVR wins
#2- 254's 9 consecutive years with a Regional championship
#3- 236's 4 Consecutive UTC Chairman's
#4(tie)- 236's 5 Consecutive years with a Regional Chairman's
#4(tie)- 79's 5 Consecutive years with a Regional Chairman's
#6- 71's two consecutive Championships (2001 & 2002)
#7- 16's 4 Consecutive years as a Chairman's Finalist
#8- 175's 3 Consecutive years on Einstein
#9- 116s 5 Consecutive years with a Regional AVA
#10- 25s 36 Consecutive wins in 2006 (36-0 start)

1002 (Circuit Runners) won Chairmans at Peachtree in 2004, 2005, and 2006, and recieved an honorable mention for Chairmans at the 2004 Championship.

1023 was the finalists at GLR and Boilermaker 2 weeks in a row.

My list
#1- 25s 36 Consecutive wins in 2006 (36-0 start) That is truly amazing, that is just an insane amount of skill/luck, even more than 254 has had
#2-71's two consecutive Championships (2001 & 2002) This will never happen again, unless 71 does it
#3-254's 8 consecutive SVR wins-This too will never happen again no team will get that much luck and build robots that consistently good again
#4- 254's 9 consecutive years with a Regional championship-Give 1114 nine years and they will have this
#5-503's two straight regionals winning Chairman's and Regional Championship-A true testament to how well rounded they are
#6(tie)- 236's 5 Consecutive years with a Regional Chairman's
#6(tie)- 79's 5 Consecutive years with a Regional Chairman's-These teams are both going to wind up in the HOF someday
#7- 16's 4 Consecutive years as a Chairman's Finalist-Something that 365 will probably get in the next two years, assuming they don't win it
#8- Michigan's 5 straight national champions-Don't worry we will make this streak longer this year
#9-175's 3 Consecutive years on Einstein-503 is going to make a serious run at this one this year
#10-469's 4 straight division finals-Making it there twice in a row is impressive, four times is mindblowing

#1000-503 beating the Martians 3 straight times in Eliminations

I think 1114 and 1503's three strait regional wins, in one year. Great Lakes, Waterloo, then GTR last year. Winning all the regionals they attended.

Can we please use this thread to discuss the most amazing streaks, instead of just listing the accomplishments of your own teams?

Edit: Of course some teams like 71, 111, 233, 254 etc. have earned the right to toot their own horn. The rest of us have not.

Does Imagery count?

2004: OR Imagery
2005: SJ Imagery
2006: OR Imagery

We've had imagery every year since our team started (2004) I'd like to hear of some other teams with continuing Imagery.
Anybody know a team with a 4 or more year streak with the Imagery award?

236 - 5 straight chairmans at UTC thanks to 2007!!!! (I think its time they win Nationals ;-) )

Team 365:
2001 NJ Imagery
2002 VA Imagery
2003 PA Imagery
2004 CMP Imagery

Hope your streak ends like ours

Now to the streak that inspired this thread. I don't think 254's streak of winning the same regional 8 years in a row will ever be broken. FIRST has grown tremendously and the parity between teams has increased. This makes any year-to-year streak difficult. Plus the 3v3 alliance format and certain game makes it difficult for one robot (no matter how amazing) to dominate the competition.

The Poofs still have that amazing Regional Championship per year streak to continue. I'm sure that will keep everyone glued to webcasts next year.

114 is definitly on a AVA streak

-2006
-AVA winner at Portland
-AVA winner at SVR
-AVA winnre at Davis
-Honorable mention at nationals

-2007
-AVA winner at SVR

I think they have won even more, but I don't know.

Team 111 (Wildstang):

Midwest winners: 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2007
Midwest finalists: 2002

By any measure, that's atleast three years in a row.

How about Team 67's streak of Regional wins, I think its a combination of GLR and Buckeye:

2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and judging by their robot a WMR victory in 2007 is a very realistic possibility.
