The Titans were founded in 2004 by Russell Morin, a former senior at Tewksbury Memorial High School. In the 2004 game, "FIRST Frenzy," the team placed 51st out of a total of 52 teams. Chalking this up to inexperience, and now being familiar with the setup and majority of the rules, they ended the season hopeful for the next.

The 2005 season saw an increase, albeit slight, in the number of people involved in the team. With the addition of several new students, the team was able to place better they had in the previous year in the 2005 game "Triple Play." With this being a notable improvement over the previous year, the team's spirits were high going into the next season.

The 2006 was a very successful season for the Titans. In the 2006 game "Aim High," the Titans placed a remarkable fifth place in the BAE Granite State Regional. Not only that, but they also took first prize in both the Beantown Blitz at Northeastern local competiton and at the River Rage competition at Manchester High School.

The 2007 season saw the Titans open with a second-place finish at the BAE Granite State Regional. Other competitions are forthcoming.
