Team publicity
 

Hello everyone; I am from team 234 and I was wondering what other teams do at competitions to get their name out there. Any and all comments are helpful. Thank you!

Come up with a really great cheer.....OINK OINK BOOM

Re: Team publicity
 

have a unique team uniform helps. eg. Team 114's lab coats, 100's hats or our (971's) gold pants.

Re: Team publicity
 

Have a snazzy pit (I saw a bunch at nationals), or have something to catch the eye (our light up 2 on our cart for instance)

Re: Team publicity
 

Come all the way from Indiana to WPI. :)

really nice/ unique trinkets.

so that when they all come home, they can keep them and hang them up somewhere like i did :P i remember all the teams that i got really cool giveaways from.



HELPING OTHER TEAMS OUT when needed, REALLY helps other teams remember who you are. i can still name the many teams that helped us in GTR. (thanks again <3!!)

Re: Team publicity
 

Heres one.

Make sure you come with the COOLEST mascot :)

Also try to 'announce' before your robot leaves the pit area. For Example we always yell "GO CHARGERS" before our pretty-shiny-silvery-baby robot leaves the 10 x 10 garage ;)

We make up hundreds of Maroon wristbands with our team name and number and give them out as part of our Publicity. It's hard to forget the team when you're wearing the name on your wrist...

Re: Team publicity
 

I would suggest that your team just keep on doing what you do.
Our team doesn't travel to the Championship every year, not that we wouldn't like to. :) The trip this past spring was a chance for me to see some great moments of Gracious Professionalism in action. 234 stood out. It was the manner in which your team carried yourselves, how you interacted with each other and with other teams. To me, you were a team of young professionals. I said as much to one of your mentors on the way back into the arena from Saturday's lunch break. Keep up the good work.

when most of your team gets stuck in an elevator for 2 hours, between floors, the next day somehow everyone else seems to know who your team is

but I dont recommend it!

Re: Team publicity
 

Adding to what Jane said... when I was in need of pair of safety goggles at championship , Chris Fultz (234 mentor and one of the brains for IRI) was the first one to step up and give me his personal one for 3 days. Your team stands out in the crowd at all events but I think you guys need to adopt a second Sam who will grow his hair and spike it... everybody remembers that guy with blue 8" spikes.

Re: Team publicity
 

I would suggest wearing spiffy labcoats, but the idea is slightly taken...

Anyway, just practice GP, and wear a uniform that stands out.

Re: Team publicity
 

You will definitely get noticed if you are really...

LOUD

...and enthusiastic in the stands.

(note how much my post stands out. :D )

Re: Team publicity
 

Hair dying and things like that always seem to work, but I think your team has had that one covered for a while.

Just be loud/gracious/play well/spirited, and you tend to get pretty noticed.

Re: Team publicity
 

Make your T-shirts nice and bright colored. They will get your group notcied while in the stands.
