The following year, many members of the original group had graduated so the remaining team brought on new members. The team that year consisted of: David Cardew, Lilith Freed, Kerry Holmes, Christopher Morris, Alex Horwitz, Jasper Nitzsche, Tyler Stallsmith, Josh Hoffman, and Cecilia Carter.

    Working together on their new VEX challenge 'Sack Attack', they tried hard and created their first competition-ready robot. They entered their first year competing modestly, the robot being barely functional and never even making it to the alliance selection. Regardless, the team was iron-willed and determined to be better the next year.
