Aloha! This is TKM.368 McKinley Robotics glad to announce some terrific news.

For everyone who has been anticipating a regional in Hawai'i, including us, the time has come for us to rejoice! On Friday, January 12, 2007, Governor Linda Lingle of Hawai'i announced that there would be a regional in Hawaii projected for March 2008.

Allow me to be the first to congradulate you and to say:

Woo Hoooooo!

*sniffle* I would LOVE to go to Hawaii for a regional. But then again, all I'd see is the arena, right? :p

Unfortunately, SC is awfully far away from HI and I don't think we could fit all our stuff on the plane!! :D

But it's good to know that regionals are expanding!

How many teams are in Hawaii?

Just think, the slogan for the regional could be "Best Regional before tomorrow!"

Very nice! I think I will be suggesting that regional to our team to travel to next year :yikes: . haha

But really, great job you guys! I'm very glad that you guys have a regional over there. Good Luck and hopefully I'll see you guys in a year ;)

That sounds fun but I fear it might be expensive too if its in a city with a VERY popular tourist attraction which might detract some teams from visiting. BUT it is GREAT that we will have a new regional opening up creating a possibility for more teams in Hawaii to start up.

Pavan.

I gotta check my frequent flyer miles !!!!!

With our recurring and infamous Hawaiian Theme, I'd say we'd probably be one of the first teams to want to attend. This sounds great guys! (Ironically, we were just thinking about what we'd do if there were a Hawaiian Regional this past week at our parents' meeting.)

I just found tickets for around 350 bucks from Boston...well just using this march as an example, should be similar prices...I think I have a nice spring break idea next year...well hopefully.

Congratulations guys! This is extremely exciting! My mom's ohana (family) is from Hawai'i and I would love to have them see the greatness of FIRST. I would LOVE go volunteer for this event! Keep us updated on news about this event.

Mahalo.
