On behalf of Team 237 Black Magic, we'd like to congratulate all of the teams at the CT FIRT regional this year. This competition has always been my favorite and this year just proves why. Congrats to 20, 195, and 95 for winning such an exciting regional and bravo to all the teams that competed against this powerful alliance and providing some intense matches. Congrats to 230 for winning the chairman's award this year. It's a testament to all you have done when a regional who has had a repeated chairman's winner (congrats to 694 for previous wins) has a new one after a few years.

Team 237 would like to personally thank Team 20 The Rocketeers, for giving us a personal award for our creative design. For those of you who don't recognize our bot by our team number, we designed the flip bot. Although we didn't win a technical award, congrats to those teams that did.

To our alliance partners throughout the day, thank you for being patient with us and supporting us as we flipped to the top and put on a show for the regional. Woodie came up to me smiling after our last match when we made our final climb of the regional. Hopefully our team will be able to put out some videos for everyone to see, and hopefully show off some of the other amazing bots at the regional this year.

To the CT teams, hopefully we'll see a lot of you at the CT State Championship May 11th. I think this is going to be just as competitive as the regional this year, and produce just as exciting matches!

Good luck to all the teams going to the championship and other regionals, you have the support of Team 237 Black Magic.
