I never really though I'd be posting in the Einstein thread as a participant! This was the most amazing competition experience I have had in my FRC career. It was truly an honor to get to play on Einstein representing the Curie Division and Michigan. This was Lightning Robotics' 9th trip to the Championship since 2000 and our first time in the Championship eliminations since 2002 (second time ever) and the first time ever advancing beyond the quarterfinals.

Thank you again to our alliance partners 1678 Citrus Circuits and 148 Robowranglers! All my comments in the Curie thread apply here as well, you are two truly amazing teams and it was an honor competing with you!

33 you built an absolutely unstoppable machine. You guys are another team that I have been in awe of for years. You beat us in the quarterfinals as MSC and again on Einstein, you guys were truly powerful competitors! See you guys in the off season!

469 yet another team I've been in awe of for years. Your machine is truly scary cycler, FCS, floor pick up you guys could do it all when it came to scoring discs! It was an amazing to be able to compete against you guys and 33 on Einstein you guys showed the true power of Michigan teams.

1519 you guys and 469 duel full court shooting kept our hands full in our first match, great job on changing it up in matches 2 & 3

Congratulations to 3476, 303 and 1640 on making it to Einstein I didn't get to see much of your matches but what I did see I was really impressed. 1640 way to be the last 30 point climber standing!

Thank you to all the volunteers and FIRST staff that worked so hard to make Einstein such a memorable experience!

Congratulations to 1241 610 and 1477 on winning the FRC World Championship very well deserved!
