Re: Swag Help?
 

Thanks guys. This helped a lot.
We have a set of 3 brothers in our team and their mother happened to have a button maker we could use so I ended up buying supplies for these online. We're having each kid pay $3 to buy their own shirt. (up to $6 if they can afford it.) I found a great local business who was willing to do it for just the cost of the tee shirt. It's all beautiful screen printed stuff too. With the left over money I bought little flashing octopi to write our team name and number on and give out to each team. We're also going to use our photo printers to make copies of a team photo to give out. We're an art school so they're really good quality epison printers. For this year's competition we're also going to do trading cards with our robot's weight and stats on them. :)

For the trading card, don't forget to put the Center of Gravity as a stat :)

We were also talking about trading cards at work today. You could make cards pretty cheaply since printing seems like a good tool you have available. have fun little stats for each student. (this one has an electronics ability of +5, this one is weak against snow, that one has +10 for spirit, etc.) Put your team logo on the back (and learn how to align duplex printing) and you will have teams trying to trade for a full set in no time.
