Our team is already debating whether to use our funds for a 3rd regional vs Atlanta. We cant wait until possibly as late as the Hawaii regional to see if we qualify and then decide how to pay for a Hawaii-Atlanta trip. In 2009, we had already qualified via the CMP EI award and had ample time to plan, raise funds and prepare. The other 3 Hawaii teams that qualified were scrambling big time! Its not like they could drive there. 
We are hoping that our State ROC and BAE will come through again for Hawaii teams that qualify from Hawaii. BAE has been gracious to give each team 5k to attend Atlanta the last two years (10k when we won the CA award in 2008.)
If you guys go to Vegas, see you there. Brother who lives there is getting married that weekend. |
Are you bringing the whole team to Vegas?
Third regional for your team. Can we suggest that you come back to New Jersey? We would love to see you come out here. We missed the Nationals, because Wayne was a real slacker that day and waited all the way until 12:01 and it was already full. I had to do this thing called teach class, which I am sure a lot of mentors do since it is a school event.
If we wait to make plans for Nationals after we hopefully would qualify for it, it would cost a lot more money for the late plans. Hopefully we will save the money for another trip out to Hawai'i, with or without the robot. Your regional was great. We felt like we won, just for stepping off of the plane. You couldn't have made us feel more welcomed.
