I certainly love the idea about putting together the pictures of next year's robot together...
And about Robby's idea of making the FIRST logo, maybe we can use team's logo to do that, that is if we are having the robot photo mosaic too...
I doubt if we should really just buy McDonald toys and give them to Dean/Woodie. I really think it should be something we actually make, just like the robots (I am sure they won't like teams using a robot that's bought from a toy store...).
Right now, I think gathering pictures from different team is a great way to go. Not only can we help FIRST gather all the picture of the robots so they can show the photo on the screen when the awards are given (Xerox creativity award, etc), but it is actually something that can be done.
Do people remember the board Buzz had at National where they college peopleˇ¦s signature and use that as a gift? Maybe we can do something like that... Only Three different things:
A robot photo mosaic for Dean.
A FIRST logo made up of team logos OR robot photos for FIRST
Maybe something big made up of the buttons from each teams (one per each team) for Woodie. Maybe a wall of buttons that will match with Woodie's vest of buttons? How about a giant button with all the buttons on it? This way, when he stand in front of the ˇ§thingˇ¨ no one can really tell if he is in there?
I really think this is something we can actually do, although it will take some coordination and some actual effortˇK But I am willing to do it, how about you? Itˇ¦s only JuneˇK
