2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congratulations to team 359, the Hawaiian Kids, your new Hall of Fame members. :)

Congrats Glenn and crew!

I was really hoping to see Chairman's being announced tomorrow, but I guess it was because all the HOF robots were on stage tonight. Regardless, awesome job 359. You've been a great example for me since I first met your team back in 07 at the Trenton regional as a freshman. Wearing my 359 polo tomorrow in your team's honor :)

Wait, I thought they didn't announce Chairmans until Saturday, after the Einstein winners...

I see you've edited your post--Congrats 359!

Re: 2011 Chairmans Winners- 359
 

Congrats 359! You are such great people & We couldn't be happier for you!

Re: 2011 Chairmans Winners- 359
 

Glenn,

You've been an inspiration to all of the teams in Hawaii and now you're the shining example for all the teams in the world.

It couldn't have gone to a more deserving team and, as I expressed to you when you won in New York, I knew this was your year.

Keep up the good work spreading the aloha spirit throughout the FIRST community!

Re: 2011 Chairmans Winners- 359
 

Much congratulations to the Hawaiian Kids!

Re: 2011 Chairmans Winners- 359
 

Congrats, you guys definitely deserve it!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

I was surprised at the awards being made tonight, but it sort of made sense.

They were putting FIRST on the "same stage" as the performers, get it? :D

PS 359- I still have the lei of shells you gave out in NJ back in 2007 :D

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

So glad to hear this!!! Congratulations to Glen and the Hawaiian Kids. 359 is a very worthy addition to the HOF. Best of luck the rest of the weekend as well.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

This is great -- we get to congratulate them in person tomorrow!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Wow, congrats to 359. I was thinking they had a good shot at this; they've had an incredible year!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Friday night chairmans award? That's weird.

Anyways...

Huge congratulations to the Hawaiian Kids. Been waiting for them to win it.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congrats 359!

I'll try and make some time to stop by tomorrow and congratulate you in person.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Wow. That is absolutely awesome. I've been rooting for them to win this for a while now. I have had a chance to work with them and get to know them after attending the 2008 Hawaiian Regional. They are an excellent team and it amazes me to this day how much the aloha spirit fits with FIRST.

Congratuations! You really deserve this award!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

oh yeah! that sounds to me like a good reason to give it out Friday night

See, Glen? Great job Hawaiian Kids!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Going back to when 1618 shared an arena with the Hawaiian Kids, we've known that they're a great group of people. This is exceptionally well-deserved--but I'd hate to be their cart-pusher with all the crowds that will be coming by to congratulate them tomorrow. ;)

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congratulation guys! Maybe we'll give you a visit next year.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

On behalf of MOE 365, a huge CONGRATULATIONS! to team 359! You are well deserving of the Championship Chairman's Award. Welcome to the Hall of Fame!

Enjoy every minute of it!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congratulations from team 2438 and we'll see you next year!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

It's too bad the video was never shown. Hopefully it will get posted somewhere for all to see!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

I had a feeling that the Hawaiian Kids would be the newest member of the Hall of Fame.

Congrats to Glenn and all the members of FRC team 359 for a tremendous story, and an inspiration for all teams.

Their video is a great account of their long time successes, and what they have been able to achieve in the past few years.

Mahalo! For being a great representative of what FIRST is all about.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

It is such an honor to have 359 join the Hall of Fame. I am very sad I was unable to congratulate you in person. I look forward to seeing you next year and being able to give you a proper congratulations.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

I can only imagine the celebration awaiting you in the islands. Please pass along our congratulations to you entire team, your sponsors and schools. Welcome to the Hall of Fame.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congratulations to 359 from the teams of the Inland Empire. We are inspired by your team and will strive hard to follow in your steps.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congrats 359 i know you will not stop until there is a First team in every high school in Hawaii.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Thanks for all the kudos!
We will post more about our team's reflections once we get back home to Hawaii.
Here is a link to the judges thoughts, since they never had a chance to formally present it during the ceremonies.

The video should be uploaded soon.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congrats team 359! I've always loved hearing about your program and the things you do for Hawaii. Well deserved!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congrats to the Hawaiian Kids Team 359. You guys are a class act and represent the very best of FIRST. It was a pleasure meeting and competing with you in NY and seeing you honored both there and in STL. Hopefully our paths will cross again soon.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congratulations to you from Team 1511, Rolling Thunder! You've been deserving of this for a long time!

We can't wait to see your video! We were hoping that they would repeat the intro on Saturday and show the video, and were disappointed when they didn't. Maybe we can suggest that they use your video as part of the opening ceremonies next year!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Extremely well deserved. Congratulations!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congratulations Glenn and team - a truly deserving award/recognition.

Welcome to HOF. Now we have to come out to the Hawaii Regional!

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congratulations! When I saw the Hawaiian Kids win Chairman's at the NYC Regional, I knew they would have a great chance at Chairman's at St.Louis.

(If it's the same video that was shown at the NYC Regional, it was fantastic!)

Good luck in the future 359 and welcome to the HOF :)

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Congratulations on behalf of Team 1114. You guys are a true inspiration.

Re: 2011 Championship Chairman's Winners- 359!
 

Glenn:

Oh ye of little faith. :) I'm not sure if your team mentioned I stopped by your pit on Saturday to congratulate y'all, but congrats to you and your team again, all the same!
