In 2020, the fourth edition of this challenge, Team Iran participated with 35 students[10] and made it to the top 20 teams with two futuristic projects: An intelligent system for managing and saving water consumption, and a device for disinfecting clothes and equipment. The team also achieved the "Outstanding Mentor Award" along with 8 other countries.[11]

In 2021,[12] Team Iran, won second place in the Environment branch of "the Grand Challenge" by presenting the Smart "Trash Cycler" for compost production.

After the success in the virtual competitions of 2020 and 2021, Team Iran started the sixth consecutive year with high hopes for achieving more victories. A team comprising 22 students, two coaches, and six coach assistants from different regions of the country started developing ideas for the 2022's challenge with the slogan "More than a Robotics Team."[13][14]
