Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

Someone at the midwest one was giving out spoons I think....

The nastiest thing given out was at the lonestr regional... I don't remember the team number, but it was like biohazard or something like that, they gave out this goop, really nasty stuff, it ended up in bags on the bus trip home... and on peoples clothes, and in hair, and it was just yuck.....

Oh! The best thing by far, was at the Midwest Regional (again, I'm bad with team numbers, I didn't get to spend much time socializing, we were in a crisis panic), they gave out peices of their old robot. They sliced the extrusion stuff like bread, and its a great addition to my nerdy keychain!

I must mention that I very much appreciated a souvenir bag... I had begun to stab myself with all those buttons before I could put 'em all in a bag.

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

WHAT?!?!

Laff, my team's glow sticks aren't on the list!!!11 They're always a big hit...

but the coolest swag I've seen? At the CDN regional, this one team was handing out these flashing star lights that you could pin on just aboot everything with magnets.... then I lost mine! :'(

I found mine on the ground, and everyone kept asking me who the team was... and I STILL don't know! Who was it?

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

DVDs are very cool. Well edited clips of your team in action can say so much more about your team than a half-way decent () logo on a button.

I like the way so many people are for candy.

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

We have a lot to give out, and people on our team don't want to add anything else to the list, just for the sake of their sanity and such. Buttons, candy, pocket CD's, brochures...that's mostly it. Our candy is nifty though...it even comes sealed with a Miss Daisy sticker.

Everyone says people should hand out food...kinda funny that the "rules" that I, of course, never follow say that teams can't hand out "candy, water, soft drinks, or fruit or noisy devices." Hah! Robotics is LOUD to begin with and we can't live without food...robotics people eat constantly. Rules are made to be forgotten and broken, that's what I say.

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

Hmmm. the team is right on the tip of my tongue but at UTC they had those nifty little pen/keychains that they were handing out. those were pretty nifty and unique, never the less they were quite the comodity

Oh those stress balls from 236 Techno Tickz were also pretty nifty and very usefull during alliance pairing and playoff matches

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

In Atlanta we will have a limited edition object. Limited to 500..
Well, ok.. maybe 499. One of our mentors had fun with part of one tonight involving goat cheese..

Can't tell you what it is, but think 1999 Team 237 giveaways.
C'mon to Team 237's pit in Archimedes and get one!! You will be glad you did!

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

Last year my team handed out maze pens with our team name and number printed on them. They come in a variety of colors and were an extremely successful handout at SoCal.

One really cool handout I saw this year was team 691 "Hartburn" which gave out red hots in what looked like prescription bottles. Our advisor freaked when he saw all of us guzzling down "pills" out of bottles.

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

The Best "Give-Away" would definately be Ultimate Frizbees with your team logo on it, and a web adress. The reason I put give-away in quotes is that it might be to expensive to make just to hand out, maybe $3 or somthing like that. I have moticed that there are a lot of Ultimate players at FIRST events.
