That sounds about right.
We are also encouraging our kids to come up with their own designs (so long as they are tasteful and in the spirit of FIRST). Some day we'll have to make complete sets of all of our buttons to give away as a package.
We're also trying to make t-shirts to give away as well.

Aughhh, setting the bar higher. Your post sparked a conversation between my husband and I. He pointed out that you have that many buttons because of different designs. Which reminded me our graphics guy created something very cool last year (haven't asked if I can reveal it) that we have yet to make come to fruition - it has to do with buttons.

Then my husband pointed out that some years ago he was at a computer convention where Microsoft had numbers on all their buttons, and if you found a matching number, you won a prize, so people were wearing 20 Microsoft buttons, and trying to find the match. He said it was the greatest marketing thing.

Team 116 may just have a limited number of "special" buttons to give out at the Regionals we will be attending. That's all I can say for now, anything else would just get me in trouble prematurely.

Re: Button Making

Last year, our team made nametags instead, with little clip on the back. It wasn't really that expensive, especially if you go to one of those places online that make free nametags, laminate them, then attach clips to the back also, we had a few nametags with names of each person on the team, the engineers, and people who helped the group.

That is mandatory for us during the build season because of the policies at our HS.... Just more unwanted politics.. But the badges are cool!!!!

Re: Button Making

last year we didnt have many people who had time to make buttons; as a result one member saw we would never have enough buttons and began making them faster than i thought humanly possible. the speed at which he was moving the lever defied the known laws of phisics; by all rights it should have snapped. we got enought buttons though we had a few with odd marks where a finger had strayed into the parts. We supplemented our lack of buttons with team magnets and pens

Re: Button Making

Yeah we always have our ordered by some company including this year. this year we have a button maker so we might make a "top secret" button. Its just the chairmans/spirit group. (Look for us team 116 at VCU and Cheasapeak)

*please note the secret buttons are very limited and will only be given to teams that give us really cool stuff in return
