Need your buttons!
 

Hi guys, Team 2512 here. Over the summer we took on a new project: Collect a single button from each and every FRC team in the world. So far I think we have about 300. Obviously we need your help, if your team could send a button, big or small, new or old to our address we would be happy to add it to our collection and post it to our Mega Button Board (see attached photo)

The address is:
Duluth East Daredevils
FIRST Robotics Team 2512
116 S. 35th Ave. E.
Duluth MN 55804

Thanks for the help guys and hopefully I can update you guys on how it's filling up!

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Do you have one from team 3135? If not would a key chain work? we don't have any buttons.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Any team trinket/gizmo/doohickey whatever you got that is relatively the same size as a button is accepted. So sure send it our way and we will put it up on the board!

Re: Need your buttons!
 

How would you feel about one of our koala giveaways?

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Send my your artwork, we will make you a button and send it in with ours.

Mr. B.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Looks like you have 2 of the 781 buttons, the green and white gears and the 781 symbol. Not sure if you're planning on getting EVERY button out there or just one from every team, but I thought I'd let you know.

Did you get it at champs last year? We only use one kind of button nowadays so we don't bust money giving out 3 buttons to every person compared to 1.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Yea! Since the picture was taken a lot of random team stuff has been added to the sides, we super glue them on usually. But whatever your team has for its pit give away ex. buttons, wristbands, koalas, ribbons send them along and we will put it up.

Also we have a spreadsheet of who we have and dont have I will try and upload that to a google docs. later today so yall can see if we have your button yet or not.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Sorry for the double post but, here is the link to the spreadsheet of the current buttons we have.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

I'm a button collector, too, and I have some extra buttons from teams that aren't my own. Would you accept these as well, or would you rather receive a team's button from a member of that team?

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Thanks,
But they seem to already have one. We used to have buttons but we ran out this year. They must have been one of the people that got one.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Sure we will take them!

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Do you need one from Team 1410? If so, I have a few! Send me a message and I can ship one to you! :)

Re: Need your buttons!
 

306 will get a button and key chain out to you sometime next week, this is an awesome idea!

Re: Need your buttons!
 

If you want a 3397 button, I can bring one to your pit at champs.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

It doesn't look like you have one from 422, I'll have to see if I can grab you one at the next meeting.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Do you need one from 195? I will get it in the mail today if you need it.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Yup! still need one from 195

We are especially lacking on buttons from coastal states, so if any coastal teams are out there....SEND THEM IN! :D

And remember to check the spreadsheet! Since I cant keep up with everyone asking if we have their button or not. So here is the link

Thanks again guys!

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Come on guys, we went to 2 regionals together this year ;)

If I remember I'll drop one off at Champs.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

I had buttons for 195 and team 20. I just put them in the mail for you. WAtch for a big yellow envelope :)

Re: Need your buttons!
 

I think we have one from you, it just hasn't been updated since our last regional. But I'll still take another one at champs!

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Here is an update for after worlds guys.



Thanks for all your help guys, and if you haven't sent any in yet send them our way please!

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Yay I saw my teams' button!!

You may want to cross check the teams on your list and split them into active teams and inactive teams.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

You have 3314 but you didn't update your spreadsheet. I will collect some from MAR and send them to you.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Yea we havent had enough time to update the spreadsheet yet, we have the MN state champs coming up next weekend so we are pretty busy with that right now. But updating the spreadsheet is on our list of to-do's

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Team 2512, Good luck and good times for the upcoming MSHSL Championship!

To help out, I have 3622 (Robocats) and 1592 (Bionic Tigers) metal buttons I can send you. Where would you like them sent?

I see you already have Exploding Bacon (1902). Is it a foam or metal one?

I'll see if I can get 21 (Combat), 79 (Krunch), 233 (Pink), 801 (Horsepower), 386 (Voltage), 1875 (Purple Haze), and 1622 (Team Spyder) to send theirs in to you soon. Otherwise, you might have to wait until after Week 2 and Week 5 in 2014 for more Florida teams.

P.S. I have a 1523 MARS green alien too (see top of photo next to Team number). :]

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Between eight years of FIRST, 15 competitions and coordinating the Dean's List Button Wall I have a bag of full of years and years of buttons and little to do with them. Would you want me to mail you them in a box? Would you want all of them or would you prefer I sort through them, not sending what you already have? Or perhaps (in the box) providing a list of the ones being sent? Let me know whats easiest for you guys. I'd love to contribute to a project that seems like it will have a really cool resulting picture.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Ooooh, jeeeez. :eek:
Im guessing thats a lot of buttons.....
Which then follows with a lot of cash to ship all those buttons. So if possible I would sort through them if you could and only send us the ones we dont have. If you could do that it would be awesome!

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Great, I'm transferring my collection! It might take me a couple of days to sort through them (what an interesting thing to do after I get home from work), but I'll try to send only what you don't have and to provide a list to make your accounting easier. I'll probably use one of those flat-rate post office boxes and do my best to engineer a way to send the most things in the smallest box. Hopefully I can get it to you in the next week of so.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

The buttons are in the mail. :-)

Re: Need your buttons!
 

I will send you 3173 and try to get other Rochester, NY teams to do the same with theirs.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

ill send a 3015 button your way

Re: Need your buttons!
 

SparX fellow here. I'll notify my clan of this immediately. :D

Re: Need your buttons!
 

They can see you're part of SparX you know... and we can send a button

Re: Need your buttons!
 

I know, but it's fun to state the obvious.

Re: Need your buttons!
 

Very true.
