Last year my team gave out mainly buttons, but we had a few extra shirts lying around that we gave to judges. We also had quite a few 2in diameter circles of lexan and conveyor belt in our pit that one kid started writing our team number on and passing out. For any of you that watched the WorldCup this last summer, you may have noticed that after each match, the teams exchanged shirts. I think that this would be a fun idea for the HumanPlayers, Drivers, and Mentors to take part in. I don"t know whether it would be better to switch with an opponent or one of your alliance partners, but if you could get shirts cheap enough, this would be a really fun way to remember teams you had a direct involvement with. Also, as my team this year has a somewhat mystical/eastern religous/chi type theme, I"ve thought of getting someone on our team to learn yoga so we could have FIRST type yoga sessions to focus one"s concentration for the intense 10 seconds of box-placing and amass good karma to keep your robot working during the autonomous section.
