Got any red? :cool:

These will end up EVERYWHERE, which is great fun. Our small supply of inflatable martians showed up all over the place, including the control room and would lead me to believe that these balloons will be all over the place. Nice one up on beach balls!

No, we don't have red but you can certainly put a yellow brite in your own red balloon.

I'm just hoping people don't get themselves in trouble with them. Some of them will be inflated with helium and at the VERY top of the stands. Others will be filled by the KOP Air compressor in our pit, so if anyone attending the Florida Regional can not find a team mate with an inflated one they can always go to the pit. (We're inside, right next to spare parts.)

If you would like to order them for yourself/team/other check out www.balloonbrites.com and let them know who sent you when you order (aka FIRST, 1065 or of course me!)

....and Tim, I wan't one of those matians.

Not to burst your bubble, but are those latex?

Re: pic: 1065 - 2007 Give Aways
 

I think my team will want some of those blue ones :). Any chance we could arrange a trade for some coconut shells perhaps?

Protip: don't fill them with helium.

Agreed, many places like our high school do not allow latex. I was very surprised when surgical rubber tubing came in the kit this year. We had to dispose of it immediately. Other than that it looks like fun!

I think I'm missing something... What is wrong with latex?

Re: pic: 1065 - 2007 Give Aways
 

An allergy to latex is quite common.
