Hey, hugs would be cool I think that what ever unique item a team gives out is something that I would like. Yet I have to agree that the slinkys were a cool idea, and the simpsons pez dispensers that were handed out were cool too.

Our team was the one giving out the plastic swords. I think it was kind of a bad idea. i think alot of people got hurt after we gave those out. Oh well. We are going to give out a lot more at Nats. Hopefully everyone comes by and gets one of them.

Yeah, I tried to find the team that gave them out and I guess I was blind.

Banana's are good......

But I still say slinkies are the coolest!

Oh yeah?? Our mascot is a pelican! it could...err...well...look at you funny into you melt!

We did helium balloons last year at nat's. It was a big hit. Many on our team came home with blisters from tying them.

You!! You Dragonslayers! You guys had the best mints! The swords were good, but... but the mints! The mints were godlike! You need to find me at Nationals and hook me up with the mints! Agghh!!! I WANT MORE OF THOSE MINTS!!

Anyway... [obviously] the Dragonslayer style mints are good. As are any kind of toys (i.e. swords, frisbees, blah blah blah).

Our team doesn't give out much besides buttons and bumper stickers. I personally give out hugs (yes, I really do).

Also, at KSC I managed to score a pair of pants from some guy on Heat Wave. I'm aiming for more articles of clothing at Nationals. So if anyone has some [clean!!!!] team shirts, pants, whatever... hook me up at Nats. Heck, it doesn't have to be from your team. Just give me any your clothing.

I remember very fondly the lego men and clickers....i displayed them both proudly on my backpack until they were both, tragically, STOLEN!! That is how popular they were!!! Also, someone mentioned beach balls....Beach'Bot tried that a couple of years ago. We tried bouncing them around in the stands during our matched, but afterwards we always founds a couple dozen popped beachballs lying on the floor next to countless discarded buttons and necklaces.

I strongly dislike buttons. My first two years i diligently went to every team's pit trading for buttons. I ended up with four buckets of buttons, and all except for one or two very unique ones eventualy ended up in the garbage.

Hugs is good!!!

Candy is better!!! Archer (can't remember team number...one of our dearly beloved fellow socal teams) was giving out CARAMEL APPLE POPS!!! I still love you guys for that, if any of you are reading this! We're doing candy this year, but we don't expect it to taste good...it just happens to be very cheap to print our logo on candy wrappers.

BtW....how did i somehow miss these bagels being passed out at SoCal?? are you guys doing that again?? i love you all!! hugs for the bagel bytes!!

My favorite giveaways, aside from lego men and clickers and caramel apple pops, would have to be useful things like pens. I use the pens for months afterwards, and every time i use it, i remember the team who gave it to me. Needless to say, Beach'Bot is giving out pens this year. Pens to anyone who gives me lego men, clickers, apple pops, pineapples, bagels, or hugs.

Later y'all,
Amy

For swappables this year, we will be giving out buttons, keychains and CARMEL APPLE SUCKERS (yep, you heard that right! ) at regionals. For nationals we will also be giving out waterbottles, hackey sacks, frisbees, slinkies and some other cool things that I, at the moment, can't think of!!

I'm definatly a big fan of buttons and keychains from other teams!! The slinkies last year (triangle, circle and square) were pretty sweet too!

Love Beads....

Well, we always give out love beads. Every one is made by people on our team. We get everyone to make them, even the engineers and machinists. Now that is a sight! We ran out of the ones we brought to KSC in like two hours. So, make sure to stop by our pits at nats early to get yours.......
And don't forget about our face-painting booth......
