They've even won New England's Premier off-season event, BattleCry, which tends to have a tougher combined field than any individual New England regional, but have yet to collect a blue banner.
Seconded for 1153. That particular BattleCry in 2007 they defeated the juggernaut that was 40 and 121, and were the last to do so. 40 and 121 (40 and 78 in 2010 and 2011) would go on to win the next 4 BattleCry's together as the #1 seed in all cases.

Their 2009 robot was one of the best in New England, losing to the regional champions in Semifinals at Boston and Finals in Philadelphia, and reaching finals at BattleCry in a close series with the aforementioned 40/121 combo.
