i also sent this out to team 233 and they are all very excited about the possibility of attending (except those graduating of course) we also have a former mentor for our team who is stationed there. hopefully he'll let us camp out at his house for awhile.

While going to Hawaii for a regional in March would be nicer from one in Michigan simply because of the climate;) . I think it would be rather expensive to attend considering airfare to and from here to there and the shipping of the robot. I think that this regional will be a blast and I hope it goes well and good luck Hawaii:)

Its costing us 670 per person round trip from Hawaii to New Jersey for our regional.
BUT Im sure teams who make the effort to come will not regret the stay here in Hawaii. This is a great excuse for teams to visit us here!:D

Since you are coming to NJ our guys are planning to visit you in Hawaii-

we already have a rally slogan-

"send the shirts home"

So before the Hawaiian regional is a "done deal" the existing teams have some homework to do (where have we heard that before?). Eight more teams have to be created before next year. So each of the four existing teams have some recruiting to do! Use this season as your opportunity to show off your team, your robot, and FIRST. Let all the other schools know what you are doing, invite their students over to see what is going on, and start marketing yourselves.

whatever we can do from the NJ end is offered. the internet is a communication tool but obviously we cant open the shop from here.

This can work if the guys on the ground in the islands can get the schools together.

well right now everyone who has been to FIRST before is trying REAL hard to recruit more schools.....we will hopefully get tons of teams...

Re: Hawai'i Regional Announced for March 2008
 
i dont doubt the number of teams coming. the stadium will be packed! We might not have the room for the bots :P.

Re: Hawai'i Regional Announced for March 2008
 
i wouldn't worry about there being enough teams. i'm thinking that most of the schools that once participated in the HECO Electron Marathon may come out. Some of them already have. Also, thanks to our Governor who has raising awareness of science and technology; this program included, it shouldn't be a problem.

Re: Hawai'i Regional Announced for March 2008
 
yay! go governer Lingle! well i really cant wait to see the amount of teams coming here.

I would like to formally announce (and I have been told it is ok to post this) that the Hawaii Regional for 2008 is a GO!

We're definitely looking to forward to showing off our Hawaiian hospitality and fun in the sun :) next year here in Honolulu. I hope all of you out there seriously consider joining us!

Hope you're all enjoying your last weekend of the build as well! :ahh:

Re: Hawai'i Regional Announced for March 2008
 
That's great! even if I won't be directly involved with a team I'll still be ale to see the competition if I head up there next year!

waialua359 18-02-2007 22:02

Re: Hawai'i Regional Announced for March 2008
 
I guess we will see teams 233, 254, 25, 330 and a few more heavy hitters coming next year, right?? We have a fellow school right up there, team 368, the Kika Mana team!
