It is a good point that you brought this up.

I believe that there is little truth to the above quotes from Wikipedia (granted that I did not look at their sources).

Both the Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts have had commemorative stamps made through the USPS, as well as Disney; For-Profit and Non-Profits alike.

I would say you keep going. Whats the worst that could happen?

We just need a few more signers before we reach 500! Don't forget to send it to others and encourage them to sign after you do! You find the petition here: https://www.change.org/petitions/cit...first-robotics

I'll send this thread along to my former teammates as soon as I can find our team captain's e-mail. Until then, signed!

Thanks for the support! We won EI at the Mt. Olive MAR District Event this past weekend, and hope that this can help us in winning EI at MAR Champs in a few weeks!

It'd have to be an invention or a prominent member of FIRST who has passed away. Living persons are not allowed to appear on stamps.
