Re: Medals or pins--A poll
I like pins. They are smaller, brighter, and more versatile. Pin 'em to your hat, collar, sleeve, lanyard, badge, scarf, necktie, etc.
And a supply of pins sufficient for one regional event is fairly easy to manage, from the freight handlers' perspective*. As a volunteer who has been responsible for FRC event shipments, I support making those shipments lighter whenever we can do so, while maintaining high standards for the FRC experience.
* Anyone who has handled one of the Medallion Cases at an FRC event knows what I mean. Those things are VERY heavy, and have been known to cause problems if they get loose on a truck, or crash into something at the event venue.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
