" NEXT on TLC we take this town from this frozen cold town of [ insert Northern state town name here] and swap them with the town in [ insert Hawaii town name] and watch the reaction as on meets snow for the first time and the other meets sand.

Words cannot describe how much I envy you. The temperature here in Michigan is 6 degrees. No, that's not a typo--six degrees Fahrenheit. I'm not in school because the windchill is at -30 degrees. See the attached pics for what my neighborhood looks like.

well it is great to live in hawaii, but im sure that if we lived on the mainland we would love the snow for about a week and then get bored of it....and im sure you guys would get bored of hawaii too if you lived here long enough..

who could get bored on hawaii???? ...well you would probably get Closter phobic. we live on an island surrounded by water, water, and more water.

Wow! Well, I have to bring up the fact that you miss out on two-hour delays for school with that nice weather of yours! we have had one every day this week!

Re: pic: Why we work in Hawai'i
 
well we had nasty weather today for hawaii people. of course its nothing compared to what happens on the mainland. all we had was a little rain.

Is it physically possible to secrete jealousy, because I think I am...*jealousy puddle freezes because of this freezing environment*

I bet its fun living in Hawaii.... but building a robot?

Here on the mainland we can get overnight shipping from Mcmaster. There are also a lot of over-the-counter suppliers; we have local suppliers for gears, almum stock, pneumatics, electronics, and in our area there are tons of scrap dealers to scavenge from. There are also enough machinists in our area to support several teams and then some!

Even with all these resources we often can't get what we need. It must be a real challenge getting parts in Hawaii.

Yes, we don't have the resources - but for us on the island of Oahu, we can't really complain as our counterparts on the outer island have it much worse!

However, I do recall in '05 we had to wait awhile for the magnets to arrive for the hanging tetras because they could only be sent by boat!

On the other hand, we don't have to worry about school closures (and losing build time) when the weather gets too nasty.
