I wouldn't be sure of this. Last couple years 125's bots had a fair number of 3d printed components and not just the usual spacers. The Behind the Design book has a feature on the 2015 power transmission blocks for the elevator and the entire leading edge of the robot in 2016 was 3d printed.

Also yes, spacers, spacers galore and sensor mounts... Idk, seemed like a lot of random small parts that got printed the least 2 years.
