It's because of the different AVA rules in 2003.
I took a look at 192's award list and the current FIRST team database search doesn't return awards won at events a team didn't actually attend. It appears to be a flaw in FIRST's event query that uses only events as a key field, not any other fields, such as awards.

In 2003, 192 swept AVA at AZ, CA, SAC, SJ, WA, but only the wins at the two events they attended (AZ & SJ) show up if you seach by team. The individual event records show the 192 AVA awards at CA, SAC, and WA.

Not only do both those robots still exist, they still run. At BattleCry@WPI 5 in 2004, there was a Maize Craze rematch between the two teams. I can't find the video of it right now, but I know it exists.

Buzz won the Championship Chairman's Award in 2002 which was the first year of the Regional Chairman's Award process.


BTW - this thread seems to be lacking in comments from Professor Grady.... Professor, where are you hiding?

Those 2003 rules were quite strange, I admit. It was an interesting feeling winning our first animation trophy at an event we didn't attend.

Here are some quick records that I think are correct (not horribly in depth research):

Most consecutive years winning same award: 11 years (1999-2009)
254 - Regional Champion Award
Active streak, and I imagine it will grow. Corrected from previous data which I didn't even bother to check with my common sense, just blindly followed FIRST site without thinking, doh!

Most times winning single award in a season: 5
192- Autodesk Award for Visualization (2003)
Won Arizona, Los Angeles, San Jose, Sacramento, and Washington due to 2003 AVA rules where animations were submitted at an event each week in your general region.

Most different regionals won: 7
254- Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Hawai'i, Houston, Sacramento, San Jose, Pacific Northwest
*67- Buckeye, Cass Tech District, Kettering District, Lansing District, Michigan State Championship, Great Lakes, Midatlantic/New Jersey
Data gets a little choppy before 2001, so I may be missing some. Also, the district system in 2009 makes 67's status hard to define (do districts count and is GLR separate from the state championship?).

Most consecutive regional wins?

Longest streak of regional wins from rookie year: 2056, 6 regionals

I've made the updated speadsheet this was generated from available in case anyone wants to tease out any more record statistics. This data is better than what you get from FIRST nowadays, but some of the totals don't jive so I know there are omissions and typos. For instance, the Regional Woodie Flowers winners are not always associated with a team in the FIRST database, so I'll be going through those and adding them in.
If anyone finds errors please drop me a PM.

I'm sure I'll be making updates - adding missing info. and eventually 2010 awards, so this will be maintained on our webpage where we've collected all this sort of stuff and you'll be able to get the latest from there if you need it.

If it makes anyone feel better, I forgot three awards for my own team 358.

Team 1138 had an amazing defensive robot in 2006 and they won the San Fernando Regional/Los Angeles Regional. They were not moved by any team and their drive base was amazing. Though they couldn't score much, they held their opponets down to less than 20 points in each match. With their amazing defense they allowed 968 and 4 to score lots of points. They held the epic alliance of team 330,599,and 995 down to only 23 points! While they allowed their alliance partners to score in the hundreds. They win for best defensive robot in Aim High.

Please refer to my prior post #30 of this thread before anyone else chooses to revive this thread with bragging.

And for the record, I'm not quite certain I'd call 330's 2006 robot "epic".

Updating some records with 2010 data:
Consecutive regional wins: 254 continued their streak in 2010, making 12 years with at least one regional win. (They had two.)
To nobody's surprise, 177 landed on Einstein for the 6th consecutive time.
71 is still in the lead for most Championship wins, but 67 is closing in, and is tied for most consecutive Championship wins at 2.

Consecutive regional wins (rookie year start): 2056 added two more to bring their total to 8 regionals, plus a division win.

67 added a district to their most different regionals won; Detroit District makes #8.

Team 144 (who has returned after since 2004. Though the mentors of that team went on to form 1038) is the first FIRST team to win a championship Chairmans (1996) and a championship(1994). From what I'm told they almost won both the same year in 1996.

Thanks for the compliments, but it still surprises us when it happens.

It was actually 5 in a row for 6 total the first was the year divisions were created back in 2001:
2001- Galileo
2006- Galileo
2007- Newton
2008- Archimedes
2009- Newton
2010- Newton

[EagleEngineer]

just cause 254 and 233 have not won the championships yet, "I've gotta feeling" that they will win this year. Both. Yes i quoted Will-i-am.

[Peter Matteson]

Time to revive a thread because I came up with a couple new ones that we hadn't pointed out yet:

Most consecutive appearances in the Championship Final:
3 - Team 67 (2008-10)
This has got to be one of the most impressive feats in all of FIRST

Teams to Win All 5 Championship divisions (including Einstein):
217 became the first team to complete this feat this year.

Update:
Most Appearances on Einstein:
7 - Team 177
6 - Team 217

50-50 ain't so bad.

I believe 2056 has the most regional wins without a Championship now.
