2007 – 2026
Achievements
Every season since 2007 — the game we were handed, the robot we built for it, and what we came home with. Tap any award to see what it is given for.
REBUILT
Mumble

For a robot that performs reliably and effectively entirely on its own, during the opening seconds of the match when no driver may touch the controls.
Awarded at ISR #1, 2026
Excellence in Engineering Award
For a machine that is elegant, robust and well executed: engineering that is a pleasure to look at as well as to compete against.
Awarded at District Championship, 2026
ReefScape
Rico
Excellence in Engineering Award
For a machine that is elegant, robust and well executed: engineering that is a pleasure to look at as well as to compete against.

Awarded at ISR #4, 2025
Autonomous Award
For a robot that performs reliably and effectively entirely on its own, during the opening seconds of the match when no driver may touch the controls.

Rapid React
Amir
Entrepreneurship Award
For a team run like a strong organisation: a clear plan, sound finances and a strategy that keeps the team alive and growing year after year.

For competing hard and treating everyone well while doing it — helping rivals, sharing what you know, and keeping the competition generous.
Awarded at ISR #3, 2022
FIRST Dean’s List Finalist

Awarded at District Championship, 2022
Game Changers
Beetrix
FIRST Innovation Challenge
For identifying a real problem in the world, designing a solution and pitching it — judged against teams from every country, with no robot involved.
