This summer was the summer that my brother went away to college, he went to the University of Hawaii in Honolulu pretty tight huh. Well, Being a family member, I had to help him out, you know, get him settled in, yea…no, basicly I helped him get settled in and then it was scuba diving and taking busses around the city(pre-strike) with these three asian chicks I hooked up with(different story). So I was just enjoying my self checking out the mall and going across the island. One day I had to go find a borders books and music(wireless internet) and so I took the buss downtown to this small mall my this IBM building(with the cool gold/copper/shiny vertical squiglys on the outside) after browsing the store I got hungry so I decended to the ground floor in search of a meal, and to my surprise I chanced apon a display case with a robot inside and apon closer inspection noticed the unique symbol of FIRST. I thoght it was pretty cool that FIRST managed to get a toe hole out in paradise.
I just wanna say its cool, and maybe you guys could help me pull something on my brother.
If you want to see if any of the Hawaian teams are here on CD.com - just find out the Hawaian team number(s) and look it up on “Users” and than click on “team Number”
As for Hawiian teams on ChiefDelphi, there are some registered, but they didn’t respond to me spring of 2002 when I tried to get in contact with someone from out there.
I did see the original Poi Pounder in a display case in the middle of Honolulu International. That was very cool, lots of expsure.

Hello! I’m from team 833, which is in Kamuela, not Hilo, as the information posted above indicates. Yeah, Hawaii’s cool, but it’s really hard to get stuff on time out here.
I heard that Waiakea isn’t doing FIRST this year. Is that true?
