Hawai`i FRC Regional – Week 4 (22-25 March 2023)

FRC Teams – we have firmed up the Regional schedule and are locked in for Week 4!    

Mark your calendars for 22-25 March 2023! More to follow….

Webinar: Modular Robot Design optimized for shipping

Since already-expensive robot shipping costs have only gotten higher, I wanted to offer an opportunity to learn more about how to build a modular robot that can be disassembled for shipment as excess airline baggage.  There is a very experienced team out of San Diego (1622) who attended our regional a few years ago and has offered to host a webinar on modular robot design.   Please let me know if you are interested, and I’ll set something up!

Thanks to those of you that have already responded. I’ll share a date for that when it’s scheduled.

Aloha,

2022 FRC in Hawai`i update

Michael

Aloha Hawai`i FRC teams!   

As we head toward submitting competition preferences this next week, I wanted to share the exciting news that we’ve finally secured the Stan Sheriff Center at UH Mānoa for hosting our FRC in Hawai`i Regional Robotics Competition 31 March – 2 April 2022!  

While the pandemic protocols are ever-evolving, we are working towards hosting an in-person competition if we can do so safely and in accordance with state, local, and FIRST guidelines as they stand in March. 

I wanted you to be aware of this as you make plans for the upcoming season.  I understand that many of you coming back while some have lost momentum over the last two years and are facing the prospect of essentially rebuilding your teams almost from the ground up.  Please let us know how we can help and what questions or concerns you may have.

One other ask:  we are looking to replace our Volunteer Coordinator, April Danyluk, who moved to the mainland with her active duty husband. If you know of anyone from your community who can help, we’d be very appreciative.  April made a good handover book and is willing to train up a new helper.  

Take care of yourselves, stay well, and please let me what your intentions are for the 2022 FRC season and how we can help you.

Aloha,

MICHAEL COLLAT
