Hawai'i Regional Announced for March 2008

[waiakea11]

AWESOME Waiakea is probably going to come next year...Our teacher was telling us about it and we were all so exited!

With our recurring and infamous Hawaiian Theme, I'd say we'd probably be one of the first teams to want to attend. This sounds great guys! (Ironically, we were just thinking about what we'd do if there were a Hawaiian Regional this past week at our parents' meeting.)

of course i would go to a regional here! it would be a blast to have one. where would we put one? some regoinals are as big as the islands ( )

[Josh Murphy]

While going to Hawaii for a regional in March would be nicer from one in Michigan simply because of the climate . I think it would be rather expensive to attend considering airfare to and from here to there and the shipping of the robot. I think that this regional will be a blast and I hope it goes well and good luck Hawaii

Its costing us 670 per person round trip from Hawaii to New Jersey for our regional.
BUT Im sure teams who make the effort to come will not regret the stay here in Hawaii. This is a great excuse for teams to visit us here!

Since you are coming to NJ our guys are planning to visit you in Hawaii-

we already have a rally slogan-

"send the shirts home"

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. Click here for details and be sure to visit the rest of the site while you're there.

Hope to see you all there!

Congratulations guys! This is extremely exciting! My mom's ohana (family) is from Hawai'i and I would love to have them see the greatness of FIRST. I would LOVE go volunteer for this event! Keep us updated on news about this event.

Mahalo.

TKM.368 McKinley Robotics would like to recognize and thank Dave Lavery's efforts in getting a regional in Hawai’i sponsored by NASA. His tireless dedication helped get the 1 million dollars, which will fund the regional in Hawai’i, secured and this will help the growth of FIRST in Hawai'i schools exponentially. We are grateful for the work he has put into getting the funds and hope that he would come visit us at the regional next year, as we are sure he will feel at home with his Hawaiian shirt.

Me and my team 25 shirt are at the ready. I'm definitely going to try to go and volunteer .

So then, all this needs to do is be scheduled during my spring break so I can spend the week relaxing and the weekend FIRSTing

[yoshi1319]

I'd LOVE to go, But sadly, Can't. Just like Robochick1319 Said. :[ Hawaii sounds AWESOME ^_^

[Greg Marra]

Things that would be totally sweet:

• If the Hawaii Regional falls during my Spring Break

How many car washes do think this will take????? Team 1902 Exploding Bacon is ready to come to Hawai'i. Awesome job getting this regional set up and expanding FIRST.

People here thought it was incredible when San Diego filled up in days. I predict that Hawaii will fill in hours. Hmmm Atlanta or Hawaii? So many hard choices.

It would be an appropriate place for the BeachBots to go and we'd finally get to play with our long time friends on 368 on their home turf.

Way to go gang

After surviving a Houghton, MI winter with its 200" of snow annually ... I'd say Hawaii would be looking pretty good!
