Re: Button Making

Team 135 uses a Badg-A-Minit machine and Bill's 8-yr-old son Andrew who makes PERFECT buttons. Button manufacture is also a punishment for breaking rules such as "No humans hanging from the bar" (penalty 100 buttons) and "Chair's from Jim's room do not go out into the shop" (penalty TBD). After ship date the students will each make a certain number of buttons before each event.

We also print one color copy of a page of 9 buttons and make color copies at Kinko's for $1 a page. Cuts down on toner usage (robotics is a class here and has to run through the school system for printer supplies) and emphasizes the fact that buttons cost money so don't waste.
