Re: Button Making

Team 47 has our own button maker. It's actually fun and quick. One person cuts the button shape and the other one just makes the buttons. For us, it gets everyone to have a chance to spend time as a team. For buttons, each person makes their own buttons, but it's pretty hard to have 28 team members do it all at once. Mostly the rookies(myself) does some buttonss for regionals, and for nationals.

Re: Button Making

I laugh at those that say have 500 buttons (or more) for regionals... We have a bag of ~1000 buttons that we've had for at least two years and even though we were trying to forcibly give them away at VCU, we didn't give away more than 100 at the most... Who knows, maybe everyone being sick hurt our button giveaway rate...

I did a search on the internet and didn't find any, although that doesn't mean that there aren't any places in Maryland. You might be better off just ordering directly from Badge-A-Mint. I included a link to them.

Re: Button Making

We rented two button machines and the PR team tried to convince everyone to come and help make buttons when ever they had a chance. We actually convinced people to come in and work during thier lunch and after school. With all the dedicated team work me managed to make a lot off buttons in a short period of time. Thanks a lot to every one that helped out!

Re: Button Making

A local business person made button for our team again this year. We will be at Houston and Atlanta and gave several out at St. Louis. Please take our buttons! I think they made like three thousand. That may be a little too much but I will try to give a person to everyone I can at Atlanta. Here's a picture of our 2004 buttons.

Re: Button Making

I really like your button design team 1108! We were worried that we would run out of buttons again this year. Last year we ran out on the first day and we had about 2000. This year we made around 2500. I don't have a picture of them right now but you can count on seeing our mascot Kurby on it again this year!

Re: Button Making

We have a commitee called "Team Identity" and they basically design our shirts and buttons and such. They most of the button making, but its mostly a freshman job because thats what there for after build season.

Re: Button Making

We don't make buttons - instead, since one of our main sponsors is a plastics company (Monarch Plastics), we gave out calendars and dry erase boards with the Malvern Robotics logo at this year's Pittsburgh Regional.
