From setbacks to semifinals: the Outliers robotics team shines at New England championship
The Outliers robotics team recently capped off the 2025 season with an outstanding performance at the New England District Championships! Competing among 96 top teams from across the region, The Outliers finished qualification rounds in 3rd place—ranking 2nd in New England and an impressive 19th in the world out of nearly 4,000 teams.
For the playoffs, the Outliers selected Team 125 (Boston) and Team 1729 (New Hampshire) to join their alliance. After a hard-fought competition, they narrowly lost a close semifinal match to the eventual champions.
The team’s journey this season has been remarkable. Just seven weeks ago, they completely redesigned and rebuilt their robot. Five weeks ago, they began their first competition in last place, suffering major system failures in their first four matches. Since then, they’ve overcome challenge after challenge—demonstrating tremendous resilience, problem-solving skills, and teamwork.
While the season has officially ended, The Outliers will now focus on offseason challenges, skill building opportunities, and smaller events as they continue learning and growing. Great job!
