Stages

Lynwood opened with a Rock-afire Explosion stage. The Rock-afire would remain until 1991/1992 when they would receive the 1988 remodel and Concept Unification, which involved refurbishing the store, and converted the Rock-afire into the 3-Stage. According to some footage, the store's bots weren't maintained very well. By the mid-late '90s, the stage fell so far into disrepair, that the bots were replaced entirely. The bots were switched out with Spokane, WA's bots when they relocated sometime by 2000. As of 2023, the Cyberamic 3-Stage is still there.
