What did you acquire at Championship 05?

[Dorienne]

I saw a thread from last year with all these pictures of things acquired from a regional/regionals. Figured it'd be a fun thread to put up this year for Championship.

Here's my stuff (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v155/d0ritehd0rk/Nationals%202005/right-P3050084.jpg) (don't mind the funky way the picture is angled, I took it from the side and then rotated the picture...weird), and here are the contents:

I would just like to thank the member of team 33 for trading me his hat. I wear it everyday to school. Besides this I got two patches for my blanket, a crushed penny, a sign from the gearheads, the UNITY buttons from 279 along with the backpack of goodies, and a Canada lanyard. Me and my friends traded to get a tetra from team 279 I beilieve. we then went around the pits trying to trade that for something really cool. Unfourtently we failed and it ended up breaking. I also got the autograph of Dean Kamen. But most of all the fun and lifelong memories of this year.

Bruises :(

Sore feet

Lots of fun.

[psych0gambit]

haha, yes thats very true, got very sore feet walking from the pits to the arena and back and forth and back....
most of the things I got were buttons, some ballons, keychains, and a wristband. I wanted to get more things but we didnt have too much time to walk around.

[Koko Ed]

Oh and a cold.

Agreed, the best thing FIRST can give us all is memories and friendships. This has been the an awesome season with some awesome memories.

A Robot is replaced every season by the next robot, but a friend, team member, mentor, and memories will never be replaced.

I made many new friend while I was queuing on Archimedes. I was given a Devil Duck pet named Rudy. She likes shinny things so I have 2 Devil Duck necklaces in the box with Rudy. I keep Rudy as a class pet. I think she really likes living in 2nd grade.

I also was given a martian with a mini Mars button. I display my volunteer badge signed by Dean, Woodie and Dave with buttons from many of the teams on Archimedes pinned to the lanyard.

Thank you to all the teams I worked with on Archimedes and Einstein. You were great and made my job easy. I had a blast! :D

[SizzelChest330]

Half of the time I had to be on the field...

1. My "Dave says thats pimp too" button!
2. My Wildstang Hoodie!!!
