As a team we all work very hard throughout the season to do our very best. However, this would not be possible without the support of our amazing coaches, mentors, and parents.

Chris - He has helped out since the beginning of the Thunder PengWin Robotics Team, and is now one of the coaches. He always helps us do better and inspires us to do our best.
