Lunches at the competition:
Some competitions have a pizza service where you can order a specific number of pizzas through the competition.
Others just have an area where you can buy food.
Others have an area to buy food but also offer lunch vouchers that you can buy earlier in the day to get a discounted lunch that usually includes a drink and a snack.
Remember, you're not supposed to eat in the pits.
Freebies/Buttons:
Don't stress about them. A lot of teams have buttons, few have anything else. Just do what is manageable and what your team can afford. In terms of size, it doesn't really matter, just whatever isn't too much money and can fit your team's logo on it nicely. Unless you are going to be changing your button design each year, you might as well make a rather large quantity of buttons (about 200, maybe?). Last year, we brought about 75 buttons, if I remember correctly, and we didn't run out. Are you planning on ordering buttons, or making your own? We make our own and they turn out fine, and they cost less.
