We bring our Chairman's award banners from '92 and '94 all the time. It's a pretty cool thing to show off.

How many of the team's current students were even alive when those awards were earned?

I think everyone in the thread would make exceptions for CCAs

We do not bring any banners or trophies to our pit. We do have a quilt backdrop made up of the t-shirts of the FLL teams we have started/supported. And several monitors for team photos and sponsor thank yous.

The rest of our pit is stuffed with tools and spare parts to share with other teams. No room for fluff!

We have brought blue banners on occasion, but not the trophies. They are a pain to travel with as they are kind of heavy and could break if not handled properly. When we earn an award at an event, our mentor usually carries the awards onto the plane to make sure they are not damaged during the flight. Second, they take up space in the pits. Hanging a blue banner does not take up very much room, but trophies can easily get in the way. Then that also goes back to them getting damaged. Having them in a tight, crowded space means they might get knocked over at some point.

That must be the reason FIRST gave the districts the smaller trophies.


We have a saying on our team:

Clinton,

I've never heard you say less. Boy that would be nice though.

Ouch! ... Well I hope what people have heard are good things.

I do have a tendency to talk a lot at FIRST events.
