Well, I've gotten lots of cool handouts!

Buckeye 2002:

The Who? Gave out plastic "you put it together" models of CNC's

Some team gave out tomato shaped stress squishes, those were awesome

and 469 gave out little bannana necklaces, but when detached from the string, they posed a small choking hazard, but we won't get into that

How about 'trading' or 'donating' (since teams can't pedel thier good this year) the following:

Sweatbands (for the $@#$@#$@#$@# Texas sun)
Cowboy hats
Lexan waterbottles
Segways! (you'll be my favourate team for sure!)
Playing cards with team number and/or logo and/or robot on back
Little 'tray within tray' CDs with all your teams' secrets
Haribo gummy bears (superior to all, just that the have to be imported from Germany first)
Music CDs (with stuff played at the competitions)
Visors
Scaled models of your robots (with figurines of your drivers and human players! a complete 'Action Set' (collect all 288 to win))
On that note, team baseball cards with robto and such (good for Trading with other team's cards. You can even have then catagorized as 'Rookies', 'Most Valuble Alliance', 'Stackers', 'kings of the Hill' and so on)
CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs and kisses (choclate ones can substitute)
Glowsticks and those flashing Neon-Helium LEDs (for the social/rave on Saturday)

bags- we got bags!!

The NJ Regional was a bagstravaganza. Each of the five BMS sponsored teams had a different canvas tote bag. If you went around the pits you could collect a whole set!!!

They are great for carrying around all of those other souveneirs you pick up at the competition- or carrying home that trophy...


See team 25 for your bag in the Curie pits this week. We REALLY want to give away some of these things!!!

I looked at the map of the area, and calculated that it'll be at leats 600 meters (700 yards) from the closest field to the entrance of the Astrodome, so wouldn't it be nice if one of the teams gave out SMART cars? They get the drivers and the robot quickly from the pits to the fields and it's small enough to park in the pits amongs your robot and tools.

In case anyone is curious, below is the map of the area. Six Flags is right in from of the Astrodome on the other sode of highway 610 between kirby and Fannin (note the pedestrian bridge across the highways).

Simple, Money, the people will love you for it.
LoL. Seriously.

-Stress Balls are very cool.
-Frisbees too.
-I would also like to see large blow up weapons with the logo's printed. (We WOULD have had large swords (4 feet!) but some one forgot to order them. I wont say who.)
-Playing Cards with Logo on back is a great idea.
-Battle type card game with pictures of the last year(s) robots for the kids. The game would probably be similar to LOTR or Magic The Gathering. 1 starter deck : Free. Memories and somthing to do on the bus ride home : Priceless.
-CD Roms are a great idea.
-Also if many many/all regionals would archive matches. Then a DVD of the competition up to Nationals would be great.
-Silly Puddy 'nuff said. The logo on the egg of corse.
-Bumper Stickers with familliar FIRST stuff. "For Instpiration and Recognition of Science and Technology." And other cool stuff.
-T-SHIRTS! Free T-Shirts rule! It gives people something to wear to school on the first day back from competition.
-Kissing Booth! Get your cutest and hottest members and have them hand out Kisses (Chocolate of corse) to people who come up.
-REALLY Big Smiley Face Beach Balls with logo on back. w00t
-CAMERAS Like the FIRST cameras given to the Refs and VIPs at some of the Regionals this year. FIRST logo and Your Team Logo.
-Batteries! You know how many CD players are brought to each trip.
-Bottled Water with FIRST/Your logo. (like last year at Nats. )
-And lastly FOOD! Every one LOVES Food. Fruit, Candy what ever. Food is the best.

YES, those canvas tote bags were very useful. I ready thing it's a great item. ALL the judges like them too.

But... I got a COCONUT from team 25 at the J&J.
The note was very, very cute. Nice idea!
(we still do not know what to do with it!)
