I was yelling from the pit when I saw that last shot in SF #2-2.
I'm really glad everyone in Hawaii is stepping it up, making it one of the most competitive regional events that FRC has.

You and me both..I was in our pit, which was at the back of the venue (or front depending on your view) and the arena exploded in cheers on the buzzer shot. Was deafening. Just unfortunate some assists were missed and other such things. Coming off the field with bailing wire and zip tie repaired pickup was epic.. Left it all on the field. I am very impressed with what the students were able to accomplish...
We be bringing a new and even more bulletproof ball pick up to championships. The 1/8" thick aluminum did outstanding, the welds not so much. The student who welded it was blown away.
I hope one day to form a Island Alliance on Einstein... Imua Waialua!

I will be sure to pass that on to my students.. Your team was a dream to compete with. You were very deserving of the Chairman's Award. Hope to see you out here more often, and bring your friends!! We can plan ahead and take you on a Big Island tour... Hopefully next year we will be on that side of the mainland. We initially were trying for NY and VA this year. Sadly funding wasn't timely enough and they filled up. I will try to stop by and "talk story" at the championships. Your team looked, acted, and were truly gracious professional. Thank you.
Aloha and see you in St. Louis.
