My high school refused to even acknowledge the robotics team as a team, so they wouldn't even think about giving us a letter. And I think they only gave out letters to sports teams and the marching band. We didn't get it for any other performing group.

Well, I never lettered in anything in High School, but I would look at what's required for the other letters in your school. I "think" to letter in our school, you have to be on the team 3 years. Our team is very big on fundraising (we try to pay for everything ourselves). You might want to set some arbitrarty number that would take more than a few months to obtain.

Lettering in robotics would've been freekin awesome. But, then again, you're listening to the girl who consideres the size SMALL crew shirt she got at Nats simply golden ;)

I think at WHS, if youre good enough on a team throughout the year, you're put on this list....get put on the list twice and you recieve your jacket/letter. If you never get put on the list, you'll get your jacket/letter at the end of your 4th year in participation.

Only sports teams get jackets....if you've achieved a 90+ average for 4 years you recieve a blazer with the WHS patch...but not a jacket.

(Rant) But also, were talking about the home of the soon-retiring Rico Brogna (who, by the way, will be coaching Waterbury football after he retires, but little does he know that since the state took over Waterbury's budget and are cutting like crazy he may not even have a job) that decides that they can enshrine him, but make a petition to get our 2000 UTC Regional flag off the gym wall because it "doesnt match all the other orange & white flags". (/Rant)

Patch Design
 

I think having a patch with the FIRST logo on it ould be good for the letter jackets. At my old high school we got patches and pins. You got the pin from your coach and the patch was extra when you ordered your jacket.
C~ya,
Carolyn who would have loved to have a pin for FIRST next to her soccer ball.

At our HS, you have to be a member of the varsity team and either participate in a certain number of quarters or start a certain number of games... for volleyball it's the number of matches you play and softball it's the number of innings you have.. also you have to end a season in good standing.. i think that lettering is a good idea, but like dave said, what kind would it be and what criteria would you se?

TJ² just started this year giving out year patches and a logo patch to all the students that competed with us. (They also gave past year patches to those who have been with the team in past years). I know this was somewhat expensive for our team this year, but hopefully the cost will come down.
