[Mr. Rip]

16 of the Texas teams competing this week have trading cards, featuring their robot, in their pit. Another 11 will receive their cards Saturday morning. While it is pretty clear everyone likes to collect pins from teams, the trading cards say a little more about the robot and are easier for a younger student to keep, collect, and trade with others.

Drop by to see a team from Texas and check out a trading card. They are less expensive to have made than pins, about $35 for 1000 glossy, two-sided, full color cards. That included the shipping. The cost per card decreases when you have them printed in larger quantities.
