Samuel Blackwood and William Grounds received 1st place in Senior Search and Rescue. Riley Symon and Mitchell Lloyd created "Crane Zilla" a gigantic LEGO crane which performed various maneuvers and came 2nd in the Robotic Theatre event. Ocean Allemann and Christian Macalisang overcame many difficulties with their robot to gain 3rd place in the Premiere Search and Rescue event.
