The worst moment in Lightning Robotics team history would be 2003, the whole season. We had failures with both the team and the robot.

But out of the darkest times come the most valuable lessons, we learned a lot from that season, and we built on that focusing on building strong team instead of a strong robot. We grew as a team peaking in the 2006 season.
A sponsor change over for the 2007 season completely destabilized the team both mentors and students.

2008 was a rebuilding season, Sadly though there are now only 4 people left on our team that remember what that year was like, some of our newer mentors seem to be leading the team back down that path.
