🎳 STRIKES, SPINS, AND STATE CHAMPIONSHIP WINS! 🎳

The [cy]BEARCATS #11214 have officially landed in Macon, Georgia! After getting our pit dropped off, we took a detour to PinStrikes for some serious team bonding and a very special celebration.

🎂 Happy Birthday, Mentor Kyle Kelley!
To celebrate the man who keeps our gears turning, the team pooled our piles of hard earned arcade tickets to get Mr. Kelley the ultimate birthday haul. --at least the best we could get in the arcarde...talk about collaboration!

🌟 Hidden Talents & CORE Memories
Who knew the shop wasn’t the only place we shined?
Bowling Pro: Michael shocked us all with some absolute heater frames—look out, PBA!
Boxing Champs: We spent the night trying to top the leader board on the boxing game, playing until they practically actually turned the lights out! (or maybe we were just that good?)
Groove Central: Between the strikes, we were busy dancing to the music and catching up with our friends from Team Lambda 9477.

We are feeling fueled up, bonded, and ready to take the field tonight. Let’s make some noise for the Peachtree State Championship! 🤖🦾
