I've had the pleasure of watching all 6 of these victories in person and I can say with confidence that this is one of the most remarkable streaks in FIRST.

I guess somebody needs to tell FIRST that they've got the team info page wrong, then. The team page (where I got my initial information) shows that they only won quality; the event page shows the win. 6 for 6 it is.

That makes it a tough streak to beat: every regional event they've been in, they've won.

The 2056/1114 combination is really tough to beat. 5 straight wins together, and if I recall correctly, each others' first pick every time. The streak-breaker was 1114 not being at Waterloo 2009, so they're still 5 for 5 when they're at the same event. Best way to break that: Seed first and pick the lower-ranked one, or a better team. Odds of doing so: pretty bad so far.

Also note that there are very few teams to pull off the FRC Triple Play award combination (RCA, WFFA, and Regional Champion at the same event). 1114 did it at the 2008 Waterloo Regional; I think that 217 did something similar back around 2005, but can't remember whether or not it was at one event.
