Re: From Bill's Blog: Merits of replacing bronze participation medals

This gives me a great idea! I should start a Pat-yourself-on-the-back club. All we would do is make plaques, medals, and awards for, you guessed it, Ourselves!!!! Then we can be ungracious about it and go around and brag about how we have a medal for Most Steps taken form a single door while eating a hot pocket.

Now that above is really overstated, but, that is essentially what you are saying we should do if we want medals. At KHS, the robotics team gets very little recognition compared to any other sports team, but it always is very nice to see when a bunch of TechnoKats would wear their medals around the school right after a competition because the people around them ask what it's for. The medals in my opinion are a very good marketing item for a team.
