I wish I had listened/heard your drivers suggestion about sending Lahainaluna (another partner from last years alliance) over the bridge in the first match, you guys played great "D" in that second and third match. I'm sure we make it to finals if I had listened to you, that darn ball isn't under the bridge or McKinley doesn't shoot lights out in that third match (I still want an explanation for that from Alan) but we'd need miracles to knock off Baldwin/Waialua! That is going to bug me for years now! I don't know what it is but Waiakea loves the Maui teams. Probably because you guys are always very good and right there with us. For your seniors its best of luck and to your underclassmen we'll see you next year at VEX and other tournaments. You're going to love Worlds Baldwin. Don't forget to visit all the vendors ASAP to get shirts, frisbees, LED toys and more before they run out. Rotate your media pass so everyone gets a chance to walk the robot into the dome, its an unreal feeling. Shoots, now I'm wishing we were going with you guys! Tell your teachers to lotus notes me if they have any questions. Get your microbot teams going so we can go to Japan together! We're doing another bipedal workshop this summer on the Big Island, hopefully some of you can come to it. We're working on an 8 servo model that can be "walked" by a smart phone. We're getting closer to the Hominid bipedal i want to build and do tournaments with. Can you imagine soccer or sumo with bipedals at the high school level? Hopefully before I retire I can see it happen.

Is this Mr. Olive or Mr. Murphy? Baldwin loves waiakea as well! promise It was amazing to see 2 maui teams in your alliance! way to represent outer-island teams you guys had a great run. Maui High is going to be a beast next year as well as lahainaluna. They have sooo many committed students still young and already hooked to robotics. Makes me sad that im graduating hopefully I can stick around. Thanks Waiakea for 2 great years of being alliance partners !
