Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

I also like it when teams give out acne wash, shampoo, and pocket protectors.

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

Come on guys, what does FIRST emphasize more than safety? And shouldn't that apply to all of your life's endeavors, and not just FIRST?

With that in mind, what could be cooler than printing your team's logo on latex prophylactic devices and handing them out at competitions?

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

The most awesome thing that our team has ever given away were some little pens that you have to click out (fold out) to open and use. The problem was they are expensive (a bit over a dollar each) and the following quotes as people snapped themselves opening the pens:

Student 1: Ow!
Student 2: What? Ow! Oh...
Student 3: Huh? Ow! Ah...
Student 4: Ow!
...And so forth.

They were so much fun, though, and we used them for scouting purposes.

A couple of years ago the ThunderChickens handed out tattoos. I still have one or two.

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

Teams should totally give out safety glasses with their logo on it. Hate my team's glasses and I would wear anything even if it had someone elses logo on it. Or you could just make some for your team.
