Competing against teams from such diverse organizations as Boston Edison Company/Plymouth North High School, Delphi Interior/Pontiac Central High School, and the University of Texas El Paso/Montwood High School, the East Tech/LeRC "Scarabian Knight" won six of their seven matches. During the best-two-of-three final rounds against Baxter Healthcare/Mountain Home High School the Cleveland, OH, "Scarabs" finished the competition with back-to-back wins as their robot performed flawlessly, scoring point after point during the two-minute rounds. The impressive performance by the team was very graciously acknowledged by the various opponents they had faced during the day, who cheered on the East Tech/LeRC team from the gallery.

Throughout the course of "Havoc On The Hill", several members of Congress actively participated in the event. Receiving quick educations in robot operation from the students, the members gained practical experience as robot drivers and coaches. Praising the teamwork and dedication of the competitors, the members were challenged by "Havoc On The Hill" sponsor Representative William Delahunt (D-MA) to initiate the formation of at least one team in every Congressional district throughout the country for the 1999 FIRST Competition.
