This year at Finger Lakes Regional

Blue Lightning attended the 2009 Finger Lakes Regional. Despite a poor winning record, the team's robot managed to rank 22nd out of the 49 teams in measured Offensive Power Rating. The team also received the Judges Award in recognition of an Engineering Club they started at local elementary school Brooks Hill. Their animation also came in second. Other teams gave Blue Lightning their own awards, such as an Animation Award from team 250, a Sportsmanship Award from team 191, and a Spirit Award from team 211.
