Team 237 also has a Badge-A- Mint. From what I know we're on our second one (wore out the first one). I can't even count the numbers of buttons let alone the HP printer cartriges we've also gone through. When ever someone doesn't have something to do they break out the Badge-A-Mint. Also as a fundraiser we cut out all the circles of paper and put out crayons and colored pencils and allow children to design they're own button for a dollar. Our team members just assemble the buttons when they're done. We've done this at the local mall, town functions (October Fest, Dare Day, ect.), local car shows, and such. You won't believe how much of a hit it is for children to make they're own and the publicity your team recieves. ![]() |

Re: Button Making
We have different committees on our team (i.e. build team, scouting, animation team, spirit, PR, etc.). Spirit committe is solely responsible for making buttons, and in fact our biggest button-makers are seniors and team veterans who won't waste button supplies and whatnot.

Re: Button Making
Team 135 uses a Badg-A-Minit machine and Bill's 8-yr-old son Andrew who makes PERFECT buttons. Button manufacture is also a punishment for breaking rules such as "No humans hanging from the bar" (penalty 100 buttons) and "Chair's from Jim's room do not go out into the shop" (penalty TBD). After ship date the students will each make a certain number of buttons before each event.
We also print one color copy of a page of 9 buttons and make color copies at Kinko's for $1 a page. Cuts down on toner usage (robotics is a class here and has to run through the school system for printer supplies) and emphasizes the fact that buttons cost money so don't waste. |

Re: Button Making
Team #538 also owns the wonderful Badge-A-Mint machine. We use it mostly as punishment for people who are goofing off -- "you're slacking .... go make buttons!" Seriously though, there is no set group of people that do it, just whoever is there and can't work on the robot due to various reasons (other people in the way, waiting on parts, etc.)
