wow, talk about a resurrected thread...
Yeah, This thread was for the one last year (02) but I guess we can make it abut this years too!!
If you read the posts in this thread, you will notice talk of people taking more than what they need, or what they will use.. or just plain being greedy!!
As we novices to the "free stuff at first giveaway" already know, the items in the giveaway are more than likely obsolete in the upcoming years competition.
So, if you are taking stuff to "stock up" for next year, forget about it!!!
But, if you are taking stuff to bring back to your teams to practice with and give the newbies and idea of what the materials sometimes consist of and the motors work and such, then take stuff.
Just don't be greedy!!!
There was a person at last years giveaway that took 4 batteries..
That's a little much don't you think???
Anyways, just remember two words people; Gracious Professionalism!!
edit: Ok ok, I'll have to admit something here!!! I walked out of the tag sale last year with 5 boxes of crimpers... In each box there were 10 crimpers.. So in total I left the giveaway with 50 crimpers..
BUT... I can vouch for all 50 of those crimpers that each and everyone of them found a home between FIRST teammates and friends!!
Besides, there was a whole pallet full of them when I got there!
Any-who......
