I definitely understand. On the other hand, if some team gave me a random stick of deodorant I probably wouldn't use it, even if it was sealed.

Hmm I think we found our odor problem.

Not really, just don't use products like that when I don't buy them myself. Sure others are similar.

Yea I totally understand just saw a good place to make a joke. No worries I bet you smell just fine.

Practical things are great. Earbuds, phone chargers (cords and USB wall plugs), battery banks, carabiners, mini Sharpies, flash drives, screwdrivers/screwdriver kits, t-shirts.

Also, I just mentioned these in another thread, but glove belt clips are super useful, especialy since every drive team is going to be using gloves. I know you can get these customized with logos and such, just not sure where.

My favorite event giveaway of all time was not from a robotics event, but a church convention. Episcopal church insurance gave away a pocket whisk broom that was about the size of a fairly large Swiss army knife when stowed, but push the button and slide down, and it made a great little broom. Unfortunately, it took terminal damage during a demo of a (way down-scaled) non-parallel linkage launcher during the Aerial Assault build season when I launched the little broom one time too many, or more precisely when it hit the hard floor one time too many.

My collection of squeezeballs, etc, is in two medium-size FTC Rolling Goals from Cascade Effect.

The koala I had hanging off my castle hat, but it needed something to keep it from falling off so I kept it in my pocket for safe-keeping.

Something like this would be kind of awesome:

Some team needs to convert their give-away fund for some of these:

Custom Leathercraft 1104 Multi-Purpose Poly Tool Holder

This would be especially cool if via collaboration with another team, you included flashlight, Clips, Possibly an inexpensive multi-tool.

I was also a big fan of "BOB rags". Shop towels with BOB (FRC 85) logo on it.

One of my favorites was the bandanna from Redneck Robotics (Team 3998). It gave us a place to pin our other buttons and look awesome at the same time.

They were cool, weren't they? One of our students had the idea and printed over half of them before we showed him how to add text to a SolidWorks sketch :eek:

T-shirts.

Seriously, Cooler Master t-shirts would be cool. Just as long as the cloth is soft and the shirt design itself is reasonably colorful/interesting, I think people would like this idea (I certainly would).
