2014

In this year, the Robolions participated in both FRC and VRC. 2014 was marked by a revamp in the organization and productivity of the organization. Acting professionally, members planned out goals and objectives on calendars, agendas, and tables to allow prepare for a busy build season.

This year's build season was also unusually marred by two waves of snowstorms, possibly caused by global climate change, which rendered the team unable to work at school for at least 6 days.
