Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

i have my two from this year and ia m framing them with my team shirt since it was my last year but other then that i would prob wear mine or put it on my backpack

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

My mentor gave me one this year from the UTC regional to keep. I have it on my desk and I'm not taking it to school (just because I could lose it there and then I would not have it anymore). I didn't think of wearing my operater badge to school, what a good idea.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

well, I don't have an operator badge, but I do wear my wristband from Nats until it falls off of its own accord every year. And I always have my FIRST Volunteer pin on my jacket. :D
Not to mention the fact that I carry my safety glasses, mini-screw drivers, measuring tape, and zip ties (among other things for robotics) in my purse at all times. hee hee

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

I have a ton from the last three years... but wearing them in public would only increase total dorkdom.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

If you don't wanna wear them....can I? :-P

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

If I had one I would wear it seeing how im the only kid from my school who is on a team. So that way when people in school ask me what the button is for I can say "It means I drive a robot that is 10 times better than any stupid battlebot" :yikes:

O yeah and I'm gonna see if i can wear my wrap party wrist band till next years nat's. But thats if it lasts that long. lol :D

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

I hope you slipped it off and are going to put it back on. Please do not keep it on for an entire year. :D

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

why not? I mean...it'll get washed in the shower with him, so it'll be clean. lol :-P

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

Exactly I get a shower everyday so it'll be squeeky clean.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

I wore everything to school. Vest, sarong, pins, necklaces, even temporary tattoos.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

i haven't yet... but i plan on wearing my 237 shirt, 386 hat, and 121 opperator badge on May 21st the day before Beantown Blitz =D

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

Last year when we got back from our regional I wore all the buttons I got at the regional and yes I plan on doing that too this year along with the operator badge

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

I used to wear my coach badge after comps. And if we ever get a medal then I'd wear that too. Proudly.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

Talk about necromancing, reviving this old thread. I plan on wearing everything I get at the regional.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

I wore my Regional operater badge this year , and our safety captain wore his badge.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

I don't wear badges to school but I do wear my t-shirts from last year, and I have an alien toy I got from one of the teams at the championship with me.

I always dispute about that with the guards at school.They say it is not school uniform but I tell them it is because our team mentor said so.

I just cannot imagine bringing any other souvenirs like Frisbee to show to the school community..
It will be either stolen or considered "suspicious" by the guards
:) just kiddin'! They would love to play with it

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

Our whole team is going to wear their shirts and medals to school. I will also wear my operator and safty captian badge to school while carring our trophy.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

I totally wear my badge to school, it's like my own little trophy :)

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

We're planning on the same thing.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

I never really thought about wearing it to school until now. If we have the same success in Philly that we did in Jersey I am going to wear it. Not many people in my school know about the team, maybe if I wear the badge they will ask questions and we will get more support.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

Precisely, exactly.
Our team wears their team shirt to school following competition. If they have garnered medals, they wear those and the badges are medals of honor for - every - drive team. One of our drivers kept all of his badges over the 4 years of his high school career. He was very proud of them and made a wall display of them in his room. One or two of the drivers have given me their badge and wrist bands in the past. I still have them and treasure them as memories.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

Yeah we have pride week this week. I am totally going to wear my badge one of the days. Just because its the only sport I do in school and I should show my pride during pride week correct? And the badge is pretty spiffy looking.

It would provide a really super opportunity to try out your elevator speech. (That brief speech that has been prepared that explains robotics and FIRST.:D )

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

I think the week after Atlanta every driver, opertor, robocoach, and coach should all wear their badges to school. If the coach is a teach that is. Otherwise only wear it if doesnt have the chance of getting you in trouble.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

WOW really old thread...ryan albright was up there...he's from 744 when 744 was 710 lol. anyway, i will probably wear it 2mro for one day, but after that it'll go in my small collection of driver pins.

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

Because I was the driver this year, I doubt I will be allowed to drive next year (so more people get to), so I will wear my badge this week and keep it on my backpack until I graduate :)

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

Last year was our rookie year and all the graduating senior team members wore their medallions to graduation.
I guess that puts FIRST right up there with NHS!

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

The two years that I was human player I wore them on my bag pack. Now that I graduated they are pinned on my wall with my team shirts. :)

Re: Anyone else wear their operator badge to school?
 

Our Robotics team was also recogninzed at our high school gradttion too. I like how our school district is started to recongize FIRST. It’s a awesome thing! :) :cool:
