They participated in the regional league held at Mulholland Middle School and won the Teamwork Champion Award and the Excellence Award. The team was also part of the VEX in the Valley Tournament that took place at Holmes Middle School and obtained a second Excellence Award. The Excellence Award is given to teams that exemplify overall excellence and to a great extend our Research Project, inspired by the LAPD Bomb Squad robots, was vital to receive both Excellence Awards. They then competed in the California State Championship in Pomona resulting in an invitation to participate in the VEX World Championship.
