On behalf of Team 2175 I want to extend a HUGE thank you to all the volunteers that helped the Northstar Regional run so smoothly this weekend. Both Northstar and 10k Lakes across the street ended up near the top of the list in average match turnaround times.

Congratulations to the winners 71, 1986, and 2667. I also want to thank 71 and 1986 for inspiring the Fighting Calculator students. After a bit of a disappointing performance by our robot, our students have been inspired to work harder to try and reach your level of excellence.

I also want to congratulate the finalists 171, 537, and 2041. You really gave the winners all they could handle, those were some fantastic final matches.

Finally congratulations to RCA winner 537 and to EI winner 1764.
