Personally, I like to get candy from other teams, but DVDs/VCDs with the team info would bring more attention to the other team, though costly.

What I wanted to give out this year was...
surfer girl and boy antenna toppers painted in our team colors and BCR on the back. We have one on our robot. I've tried and tried to reach the owner for a donation. No answer. If we had money, I'd buy 'em. It looks like we may have buttons to hand out this year. I'd love to pass out candy. We have our Gracious Professionalism Posters to hand out, and past issues of Nuts & Volts, and their mini robotics' issue. |

My team (beachbot) is from California so we are gonna give out free samples of sunscreen for the LA regional (i think) cause it will be really sunny if you are outside! So come to the regional and ask for sunscreen k!

Well, I know that last year our giveaway was a hit with everyone at the LA regional (literally and figuratively). We made 1,000 tortional yo-yos for people to play with during the time in between matches. I dont know what we r gonna do this year. I think that we can even outdo ourselves this year. If u all come to the SoCal regional u might find out. Hope to see you all out there. GL with the building season.

Well I guess 247's venture into the candy market didn't make a big impact. Last year we (being 247) gave out gummy bears and full-size hershey's bars. We made our own wrappers for them which gave stats about our bot and a picture of the bot.
I think in handouts the main thing you want is people to remember you by the handout. Now I think the candy bars we did at 3 regionals were way to expensive to give away but the idea on them was good. I have a bunch of handouts sitting in a box in my room, mostly buttons, and keychains and only 1 has something that triggers a Button -> Bot memory. That is from '00, team 66's Mystery Machine, and their Route 66 symbol. (Their robot, for those whom never saw ![]() ![]() Whatever you give out, people should be able to identify it without a team number on it, then you know it was good. (by w/o a number I mean if someone covered the number and showed you it, you would know what team) |

I like the idea of the stadium horns. That will definitly boost the amount of energy and team spirit at these competitions.

Water guns might be nice in the heat of Texas, but you always have the slight error of getting it into a robot and then who knows what might happen. Anyone test what water does to robots?

Forget water guns, go for a fire hose.

look for 862's variety of buttons this year ![]() |
