Thank you to our pit crews who committed their time and dedication to helping keep our robot tip top through all the competitions, thank you to team reps for always being ready and talking to judges, and thank you to strategy and scouters for being on top of their game to help make sure we can be successful. Everyone should be proud of themselves for their contributions and helping Lightning strike every competition!⚡️💙🧡

It strikes me to say unfortunately we did lose our finals 2 match on field Curie. Though we may have not won, it is still a victory for Lightning to have gotten to Houston and this far into matches. Stay tuned for more details soon! Lightning strike⚡️💙🧡
