Re: pic: Reason #893 to go to the 2009 Hawaii Regional

Just glad that you folks came. Made the Hawaii regional more fun and it gave our Hawaii rookie teams a chance to see a greater variety of robots and your experiences participating in FIRST.
Based on how the pits were setup, I think we could have easily fit 40+ teams.
As we meet to discuss the feedback given from teams, I for one will definitely push for a 40+ regional next year, stressing the importance of the team social (something different next year to keep the flavor alive), and am proud of the support/hospitality given to teams this year-keeping it at the same level if not more.
Hope more of the San Jose teams decide to come to Hawaii in the future, just as they have welcomed all of us the past years.

By the way, many of you who came to the social probably think you never heard of Glenn Medeiros (host of the show), but he used to be a singer/artist that actually had a #1 hit on the Billboard charts in the early 90's singing a duet with Bobby Brown. Google him and see if you remember his song.

On another note, that Diamond Head view looks cool! Havent done that trail in just about 20 years.
