Team 237 does the button thing

We made all of our buttons for NYC FIRST this past weekend, actually one or two people did the majority. About 500 total. That is going to change. More people are being recruited to learn how to use the button machine and we'll be making a heck of a lot more for UTC New England and now The Nationals in Epcot.

Team 122 makes their own buttons. We ran out of ours on Thursay at Philly, so we obviously didn't make enough At nats I think our teacher said we were gonna make 1000 or so.

You will need many, many, many more buttons then 1000 for Reginals. There will be many people trying to get buttons from every team, so make sure you make enough.

We make our own buttons we try to make about 1000-1500 for each competition and then whats ever left over from regionals we bring to nationals. My guess is we bring about close to 2000 to nationals and hardly ever return home with anymore then 100 buttons or so....

MOE is making pins this year -even though the hologram-stickers last year were pretty cool-
They have our logo in our typical lime-green and black. We printed-out sheets of plastic coated paper. Which we get to cut-up and stick pin latches on.

We were lucky to not run out at either of the regionals, but we were making them like crazy between. I don't know the numbers, but it's a lot of pins. And earplugs! we're giving them out this year too.

Buttons....yeah right...not that i have anything against buttons, its just our team refuses to make them...although IMHO it would be easier to make them then our keychains. This year we have these wooden nickel things that we are glueing pinbacks onto...i havent seen them yet, so im not sure if they are gonna turn out ok or not. Who knows. Anyway, at nats we are gonna give out squirt guns again...theyre great for sneak attacks on unsuspecting engineers
