In the 2006-2007 season, the team came in 15th place in the Boston Regional Competition. The following year, despite having their most sophisticated design to date, the team did not make it out to the final round at the Boston Regional Competition. The following year, despite earnest efforts from team members the robot experienced severe electronic difficulties, limiting the team's successes at the Boston Regional Competition.
