Cool Frisbees

We are trying to get those mini frisbees to give out along with our buttons, it was one of those night when we thought of this one lol...hopefully we'll have them for the Midwest Regional.

Actually, we're thinking of making pins designed around petmobismo, rolaid, and tum labels. We tried getting them to sponsor us but they weren't interested, bummer.

And JospehM, love your avatar pic...catch 22 right? I'm reading that book right now.

I vote for the pinnapples that the Hawaiian teams were giving out during the Silicon Valley regionals last year

Oh, and the bag which team 25 was giving out. Really helped to keep all the goods in one place.

where have you been david? maybe you don't have corn in indy, but it's definitely there, lol.

my favorite hand-outs had to be the freeze-pops at nats (71) and the fortune cookies last year (71).

We are still working on our handout. I can't really give out too many details, as part of the challenge for the other teams at the LA regional will be to figure out what the thing does. However, I have spent many hours using the prototype while watching TV and eating dinner (to the annoyance of my family).

Oh, and BTW, if anyone knows where I can get 1,000 clear plastic disks (lexan, plexiglass, etc.) that are about POG sized (1.5"-2" dia.) and at least 1/8" thick, it would save us many hours of shop work.

I remember that Johnson and Johnson handout. Very cool, looked like a rotary oil pump as I remember. I gave mine up to a student who asked. It had either a neck chain or key chain to hold it together, anyway somehow everyone was wearing them around their necks.
I like the buttons and I will wear any button you give me on my FIRST/SME lanyard. I don't toss them away from regionals either so I can give the xray folks something to look at when the see my bags at the airport.

I think the coolest thing I got was a pair of drum sticks that some team of only boys gave me last yaer at the nationals.

I think the coolest that was given out at the KSC Regionals was the plastic swords that one of my team mates got.

Thumbs up 365 is giving out earplugs

You all know how loud it can get inside the competition arenas. This year, the Miracle Workerz are giving out earplugs. Judging from the response at VCU, they were a hit. We thought that our initial order would last for both regionals, but we went through almost all of our supply. We'll have more by Philly.

The foam footballs were given out by us (team 108) in previous years, and we should have some at Chicago and nationals.

No Frisbees..but candy so maybe its better

OK, so the frisbees would have been a little to steep for our budget (Especially since that darn school board continues to not give us any money, but thats another story) But since our regional (Motorola Midwest) is on Easter weekend we thought we'd give out purple and gold Easter eggs with candy in them, shall be interesting..maybe we'll hide some lol

What do you listen to?

Hey everyone,
As I mentioned before, we're burning CD's for the Spirit packages we're giving to teams up in Seattle and I was wondering if your teams or you had any cool songs that you could suggest. We want to cover a broad spectrum of tastes so I want to know what kind of music pumps you up.

You could either post a reply back, email me at Smarty6748@aol.com, or IM me. Thanks a bunch!

The coolest thing to give out is hologram buttons and little robot dogs on keychains....
