At LA last year a couple of us sat on top of the crate in the pit. The head ref came over and said we had to get down because it didn't have an OSHA approved railing. So, the next day we brought some scrap wood and made a makeshift railing on top of the crate. It worked for about half the day and then he came over and recognized out efforts but said it still is not up to OSHA standards.

glow stuff - they were a hit last year

Personally I am thinking of doing a "Trade Raffle" , since we cant sell stuff, so instead I am going to be doing a raffle of various stuff probably some tools and gift cards and such. you get your tickets with your team trinkets ... the better/rare the trinket the more tickets you recieve

P.S. This is legal under FIRST rules now right?

[Wetzel]

We will have at least two diffrent types of buttons.

Look for the new commerative buttons!

That raffle is a cool idea. No idea if its legal or not....I'm assuming it would be though.

As of right now we're handing out buttons..... but I'm working on something else, have to bring it up with the rest of the team first. Hopefully you will all bask in its amazing glory and coolness (Ha, I wish, I'm not that creative). Again...still in planning stages. Its a surprise

Those are RCU armbands/hairbands.

We'll be handing out old Nuts n Volts mags at Phoenix, and yo-yo's.

We'll probably have cool mugs from sponsor rent.com at So Cal Regional. Their logo is "Find what moves you" and is pertinent to robotics being what moves us!

Our sponsor Redondo Fun Factory will be donating handouts especially for nats, but we don't know what they are yet.

We have left over carabineers from last year, but our main "novelty" will be stress balls but in the shape of an apple. I am just hoping we don't run out too quickly!

Our Team doesnt know what we are giving out this year. For the past two years we have been giving out rocks with our team stamp on it. you know Rock (RAWC) get it. well this year we dont know if we should still stay with the rocks or do something different. a couple of sugestions came up like. dog tags "Army style tags", Stickers, play-doh (??I dont know where that one came from??). what do you other teams think??

[Justin Stiltner]

Our team will be giving away more of our little flashlights, dogtags, and buttons of course..

something i think would be great is if a team gave out small lego sets (like the ones you get from a drug store/etc. for like $4.00 or somthing.. that would be coolness

[Francis-134]

This year, my team is making little games that you tilt back and forth and attempt to get small balls into. I hope you know what i mean.......

Oh and they will be in the shape of monkeys because out theme this year is monkeys.

[bigqueue]

I think this would be best answered by our teams Marketing group....but I know we are giving out many many buttons, and of course information on our new rotating beacon sensor.

We will be having a seminar at the Manchester regional to describe the design. (hardware and software) We will be giving away all design drawings, all code and all schematics and BOMs so that people can use it for themselves.

Don't worry if you are not coming to the Manchester NH regional....we will be placing the same design data on our website for all to download. (you will just miss the seminar given by the students who worked on it.....but we will probably be posting email addresses of people you can send questions to either way)
