You should have put small blue banners in them and etched on the outside "I open at the close". That would have been epic!

Re: Alliance Partner Gifts/Giveaways

I didn't mean to make anyone feel bad for not giving something out (whether it be buttons or blue banners...) I just wanted to get a pulse for what other teams do, as we've had varied experiences with this, at least in the time I've been part of my team. I'm also trying to get some ideas of other cool things that have been given away in the past.

For those of you who have done them, or have received them, please keep posting on your experiences. Everyone, of course, is welcome to post ideas.

Thanks!

Trust me no one is thinking this thread was made with any sort of malice or bashing, I am honestly surprised there wasn't a thread like this all ready, my team already gives out both pit awards and alliance partner items at our competitions, usually our "shrek" ears, alligators, and/or fuzzy legs. We also give them a simple framed award like our pit awards that I made the template for years ago.

Here are the ones from South Florida, as well as the pit award for comparison:

Re: Alliance Partner Gifts/Giveaways

One part of our team uniform is our rally towel. These are twirled during team introductions. Also, when down on the floor during slow times, the drive team will twirl their towels at the team in the stands until everyone notices and everyone in the stands is twirling back.



We give our alliance partner drive team members towels of their own. These sometimes get used in creative ways.



After Galileo alliance selections, 973, the Greybots, loaned us their spare retractable blocker arm, which we mounted on our bot. They let us keep it after Championships. After we got bumped on Einstein, we removed the net from our pickup arm and cut it in four pieces. We gave one piece to each of our alliance partners, and kept one as a memento.

Re: Alliance Partner Gifts/Giveaways

1923 gives out zebra print bandanas to our fellow drive teams.

Zebra print, for silly reasons, has turned into an accent of ours, so our team gives them to each student on the team as a way of adding some pizazz to our pretty boring black/silver/jeans team uniform. We keep an extra box of them around for people who might want them, but we do make a special effort to save 8 for the other drive teams if we so happen to be a captain or get picked.

One of the coolest things to see was Siri from 1640 on Einstein this year, with her 1923 bandana still tied to her vest. That was pretty fun.

Re: Alliance Partner Gifts/Giveaways

We lend our alliance partners gold ties for elims and we sometimes let people keep them. We recently started selling ties after lots of people started asking how to get them.
