WAIALUA
Robotics team finishes 2nd

Advertiser Staff

The Hawaiian Kids, a robotics team from Waialua High & Intermediate School, took second in the 2007 New Jersey FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) Regional Robotics Competition last week.

Having earned some of the highest points in the qualifying rounds against 59 teams, the Hawai'i team was able to select two other teams to create an alliance for the final round that took place in Trenton. The first- place winners included students from North Brunswick Township and Sparta, N.J., and Kintnersville, Pa.

The winners will go on to the championship in Atlanta in April.
