I'd really like to know which team had the interesting button at nats. I asked once and no one claimed it. It has a man pointing at a sitting donkey and the words Bad...$@#$@#$@#... written on it. There is no team number,name, or other distinguishing mark. I'm trying to put together a collage for my graduation gown. Did anyone else see this button at nats or get one?

Money to make pins? Our team uses two cheap, plastic, manual button-making machines; they make pretty good-quality buttons, and we made hundreds of buttons with many different phrases, pictures, etc.

I bet each one cost more than our entire expenses this
year. We were that poor.

Our team (535) made our buttons one at a time with one(1) manual Buttom-A-Minute machine. We made 1000 buttons.

Yeah, that's the same thing we used, but we had two(2) of them. We made a lot of buttons before-hand, and every time we had a new idea, we would print them out and bring them to the competition to make buttons.

Does this mean that the button could be yours?

I don't think it's ours. We had "Spy (decoy)"*, "I am not a spy"*, picture of The Evil Fish (a fish suspended over a supercooled electromagnet that is shown on page 666 of my school's AP Physics book)*, "Communist FIRST: We're all winners, some just win more than others,"* a picture of a man and his sheep riding a motorcycle, numerous quotes from movies (like Spaceballs), an "I'm an undercover spy for team 293" to hand out to other teams, and a button with our team logo* There were too many for me to remember them all, but I don't remember the one you mentioned. I'll ask our chief button-maker to make sure, though, and I should have a definitive answer by tomorrow.

* Registered trademark of F.I.R.S.T Team 293

...I doubt that the button was ours, because you have it. Anyone from our team caught giving away our trademark buttons (not the ones with our logo) would receive a swift blow to the head by one of the Seniors or Alumni wielding an "omnicrimp". If that were our button, none of us would dare give it away.

I think every member of a FIRST team should pin all their buttons, or as many as possible, onto either thier gown or make a sash/hood to wear them. We don't have a design for class rings and we spen as much maybe more time with our robots thaan many sports teams. Just another way for us all to share something on a special day.
