Getting to the 2008 Honolulu Regionals doesn't require breaking the bank

There is a lot of preparation taking place with regards to the Hawaii Regional next year. Many things are still up in the air, but being worked on as we speak.

The date of the regional has already been announced to be a Week 5 Regional (had to get a volleyball tournament moved to accommodate the event). It doesn't seem usual to announce the date beforehand, but it was announced in a press release by our Governor, so the word is out ...

And given that Week 4 is Easter weekend next year, that could further complicate the shipping. At least with the Championships a week later next year, there should be enough time to get the robots back from Honolulu to Atlanta.

Hmm, you think FIRST will offer volunteers an incentive to go?
