I found another student once at a Cross Country meet because she was wearing a team shirt. I must say, I was surprised. I should start wearing my team shirt around more often.

I think every time I have worn a robotics t-shirt while coaching at a cross country meet I have had at least one person from another team come over to say hi. Our FRC team has a lot of XC and track athletes because I coach all three sports. Not sure why there seem to be so many crossover athletes on other teams but there do seem to be. One year at Crossroads some of my kids almost pulled off having an informal race. They found four other FRC teams with enough runners to make a full cross country team.
I often where an FRC polo shirt when I fly, because more often than not I make a connection with someone along the way who is involved in FRC. On one flight the woman sitting next to me and I talked for about two hours about sensor integration and how to find good human players.
