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.
Agreed about 1153. 2648, 172, and 238 also merit particular callouts - I believe all have yet to win a regional, despite being great teams on and off the field!

Not to toot our own horn, but 40 and 78 didn't win BattleCry in 2011... our alliance with 1073 and 238 won at BattleCry. Regardless, 40 and 121/78's 3-year streak at BattleCry was very impressive!
