Do the math....FLL teams are up to 10 kids 4-8th grade (they're at the age like things like this). FLL is usually done Friday so they get to visit the FRC pits late Friday. That alone can eat close to 1,000, then you have the 400 FRC team from around the world who want the buttons to remember the event, each of these teams can bring 10-50 students (4,000 - 8,000), and then don't forget the FTC teams. I could see 1,000 button being gone by Thursday pit close, and 2,000 lasting through Friday. If you want to ensure you have enough to bring +/-50 home it is near impossible to calculate, but 2,000 - 3,000 should satisfy enough people to make it fun. We produce all of our own, and are now in the crunch to get them made. Personally, I'd like to see the 3,000+ already printed made into buttons and brought to Championship.
One last caveat: Not all the students will be able to make their rounds in the pits due to being a drive team, pit crew, scouting, etc., not all students want a button, so yes, 2,000 - 3,000 should get you through.
Remember to have fun and meet new people at Championships.
