In 2008, Galvin's first year of competition, they entered in 20 of the 23 events and received a score of 140 which put them in 6th place.  The three events they didn't enter were Balloon-Launched Glider, Scrambler, and Robo-cross. They also only entered one event [crave the wave] for participation points.  The schools clear weakness is the building events.  in 2008 they didn't enter 3 of them but the ones they did enter they scored in the top of the second tier.  In 2009 GMS hopes to enter every event but that just may not be possible.
