[Squillo]

We require some version of Kauaibots shirt (current or an older one, T-shirt or polo - they're all purple with our team name and number, many have sponsors on the back and some have decoration on front; some students have 'blinged' theirw with silver glitter highlights on the flowers or tools) every day. We have to keep up our tradition of being "the purple wave"!

In past years we have provided every traveler (student or mentor) with three new shirts each year. We are on a tight budget this year so new folks will get two new shirts and veterans will get either one or none, I can't remember what they said.

Me, I prefer the polos so I bought a couple of extra ones and I'll wear those all three days. We do ask our team to wear team gear while traveling, we get some notice on the inter-island flights and have sparked some great conversations ("What's FIRST Robotics?" "Where are you all going?").
