Aloha! This is TKM.368 McKinley Robotics glad to announce some terrific news.

For everyone who has been anticipating a regional in Hawai'i, including us, the time has come for us to rejoice! On Friday, January 12, 2007, Governor Linda Lingle of Hawai'i announced that there would be a regional in Hawaii projected for March 2008.

Hope to see you all there!

*sniffle* I would LOVE to go to Hawaii for a regional. But then again, all I'd see is the arena, right?

Unfortunately, SC is awfully far away from HI and I don't think we could fit all our stuff on the plane!!

But it's good to know that regionals are expanding!

How many teams are in Hawaii?

George A. · #6 13-01-2007, 18:34

Just think, the slogan for the regional could be "Best Regional before tomorrow!"

Very nice! I think I will be suggesting that regional to our team to travel to next year

. haha

But really, great job you guys! I'm very glad that you guys have a regional over there. Good Luck and hopefully I'll see you guys in a year

That sounds fun but I fear it might be expensive too if its in a city with a VERY popular tourist attraction which might detract some teams from visiting. BUT it is GREAT that we will have a new regional opening up creating a possibility for more teams in Hawaii to start up.

I gotta check my frequent flyer miles !!!!!

Corey Balint · #11 13-01-2007, 19:02

I just found tickets for around 350 bucks from Boston...well just using this march as an example, should be similar prices...I think I have a nice spring break idea next year...well hopefully.

KathieK · #12 13-01-2007, 19:10

Ooh, I think we need to have a NEMO meeting there! (any excuse to get there!)

Koko Ed · #13 13-01-2007, 19:11

This regional probably won't have any problem attracting volunteers.

oh, thats so cool. It would be really nice to go to Hawaii for my last year in robotics.

Awesome! Good luck to all the teams who will be attending it next year!
