Re: Essential Travel Items: What to bring to a FIRST event
For those of you just taking digital cameras, take enough memory cards... If you are taking a digital camera and a laptop, take a means to transfer the pictures (unless you're like me and your laptop has a build in card reader). And more than one set of batteries, even with a charger.

Re: Essential Travel Items: What to bring to a FIRST event
I'd suggest that if your sitting next to a team like us (88), MOE (365), Rage (173), 195 (thats just a few, i know i left a couple hundred out), then a smart investment would be earplugs... ;)

Re: Essential Travel Items: What to bring to a FIRST event
I can't believe no one has mentioned MOE Stix! They may be outlawed, but they should always be on hand!

I remember in the older days that I was voted team trouble maker. So if you want to pack a prankster/havoc pack, this is what you'll need:
shaving cream duct tape sharpie feather ninja stars mini dodge ball superglue noisemaker waterballoons frisby pocket knife magic cards squirtgun rubber band gun rubber bands dvd player Complete Kevin Smith Films Collection N64 w/ Goldeneye Caffeine Pills(from staying up all night playing games and watching movies) Yeah. . . I had some fun with these items in my younger days, but I've grown up a little bit, so I dont bring dangerous, destructive, or sharp items anymore. Still need my Kevin Smith though. . . |
Re: Essential Travel Items: What to bring to a FIRST event
I thought of something new that EVERY team should bring to competitions.
Canned compressed air for cleaning off the dust from your robot from sitting in a shipping crate for a few weeks. This will be on my new list of things to bring to UTC this next weekend. The poor robot got dirty.. That will explain those two mysterious extra pounds. lol |
Re: Essential Travel Items: What to bring to a FIRST event
Though there is no real explanation for this, Team 138 has been taking pictures of everyone we see with Aviator sunglasses on. We have team pics with Dean Kamen and Woody Flowers with our Aves on. If many of you bring aves, we'll find a way to post pictures of you online!
