2010 Hawaii Regional

[ThirteenOfTwo]

2443, it was great working with you guys. You had a really amazing bot, and you were a huge reason why we got as far as we did in the elimination rounds. We really appreciate the compliments and look forward to seeing you guys at next year's competition!

P.S. Just a slight correction: 2438 is `Iolani, not Kalani. (We get this a lot, since Kalani means "heavenly falcon" and `Iolani means "heavenly hawk". We also tend to get confused with other teams at our regional due to our number: the Hawaii regional contains teams 2438 (us), 2348, 2437, and 2439.) See you next year!

By the way, a couple videos of the entertainment to kick off the awards ceremony on Saturday.

Here's looking to 2011!

Just wondering, where did most teams stay in Honolulu? Waikiki, or up near Pearl? I am trying to get the team to go to Hawaii and St. Louis next year. Mahalo.

the Ala Moana hotel offers a great deal at $89/night. We have stayed there ever since the Hawaii regional started. Great thing about it is the kids can go shopping as the shopping center is right next door.
The HI RPC works out deals with hotels in Waikiki to get good rates for FRC teams if you choose to go that route.
Both areas are very close to the Univ. of Hawaii where the tournament is held.

This is really great.
Be sure to click the HQ button to get Hi-Res it is much better quality.
Unfortunately it has a picture of the back of my head. I have been in denial about the bald spot for 30 years. Our documentation team knows never to publish a picture of me from that angle.

Speaking of high res and better quality, we've finally got the whole regional uploaded to YouTube. Video is of the whole field so you can see all the action and is viewable at both 720p as well as 1080p. Score breakdowns are via the Twitter feed* (which mysteriously lost a few matches). Also, two matches are unfortunately incomplete due to forgetting to press Record on time... woops!

* By the way, if you've never noticed before, check out the FRC-Spy button at the top of the page (above the orange banner) for the same information.

We'd like to send McKinley Robotics a huge MAHALO for posting the matches for the entire 2010 Hawaii Regional on YouTube. Awesome job!
