I know Tom posted already but I'd like to clarify...
We get Chinese on weekends...since there's always too much for the people who ordered to eat, anyone who didn't get anything usually just takes what they can get from the leftovers... and of course there are lots of fortune cookies for everybody
We also seriously have a hundred little packets of duck sauce in our room... maybe we'll use them to power our robot
On the weekends, we get catered by The Garage, a truly awesome place that makes the best subs.... our lunches on saturdays are epic. We wander in, eat, wander out, work, eat, work, eat, work, and the conversations we have throughout are just amazing.
We always make sure to put the Garage on our shirts and on our robot.
Occasionally we'll get a pizza, but that hasn't happened in a while.
Note to Newbies: Just call around. Letters are your best bet, but phone calls work too. Small caterers and food shops are nice, because you get to know them and it feels great when you put their decal on your robot and show it off... but big stores will help out too. It's more or less like finding a sponsor for robotic supplies, except it has more immediate results. When all else fails, pool your money and get a pizza or something. Or maybe make a picnic dinner if you don't have the cash.
Of course, we *could* just eat before we come... but that would be too easy a solution. We robotics people need a challenge!
sandwiches... mmm....
