We plan to put up a sign explaining our team and what FIRST Robotics is all about. So what does everyone think? Any suggestions?

Nice look :)

we have a display at our school but its nowhere near as big or decorated as that, Good Job.

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

Very nice...

Do you plan on changing the robot every year?

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

We haven't thought about it yet, but I would assume so.

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

Did you pull all of the electronics off the robot? It looks like they're missing.

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

Yea we pulled everything off. We were prototyping last year and used the 2005 electronics to do it.

It might be neat to put some member/team photo collages here and there. You've got great wall space. It looks cool.

Looks great guys!
We're working on setting up one of our own display cases too, and one of the suggestions students had was running a loop video on a small tv in the case. Of course, it would have to be a case that locked, but it would give people more of a perspective of what competition is REALLY life.

That's flippin' huge Aroon! I wish our school had such a large display case for us. All our trophies and medals and shirts and whatnot are crammed into two smaller ones..looks pretty nice though, will have pics later.

But yeah, me likes yours mucho.

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

You guys do have the sickest school of them all, and this is no surprise :P

Oh, Conor, when are you getting me that 1403 shirt ;)

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

ditto...where is this display case, im stopping by sometime to see it

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

As for the location of the display case, go in the main entrance of the school (the same one people line up at for the SATs) walk in about 30 feet towards the Center for Performing Arts, it's on your left, can't miss it.

As for the shirts....where's my money?

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

Aroon owes me a shirt for like 2 years now. I wouldnt trust those 1403ers. Theyre basically all bling bling.:p

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

I gotta ask. the little table in the left of the picture, its an ATA roadcase. being how freaking expensive those things are, and the fact that most people dont think those look very nice(though i disagree, considering i work with them all the time...) whats the reasoning for using it in a display case instead of a table?

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

We couldn't find any free tables with that height at the time. Besides, we have about 20 extra roadcases and we finally found a use for some of them. :rolleyes:

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

haha. nice reason!
how do you have that many roadcases though? thats thousands of dollars!

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

You road around in my car for how long, and didn't pay gas. THAT'S where the money is. :P

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

They were all donated by Pfizer. I'll take a picture of all the different size crates that we have. I'll post that soon.

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

oh my god you guys are lucky. i would kill for even two extra roadcases for my job.

Re: pic: Team 1403 School Display Case
 

Wow I wish our team had a display case that size!

two suggestions.

1. Get a bright colored paper (maybe close to your team color) that comes in the big rolls (usually in art classrooms and stuff) and use that as a background. It'll make your banner and teeshirts pop, and give the display a more finished look.

2. I don't know what your school's printing capabilities are, but in our display case, we have a HUGE team photo with all the members and the robot at championships. Its about 3 feet by 5 feet I wanna say, maybe a little less. Granted it's from 2003 and none of the students go to our school anymore, it's still cool to see the team. (hopefully we're updating it this year)

(haha I've got both a shirt - too big - and a sweatshirt :D:p)

It looks really nice! And I agree with Kim on adding more color
