Amen brother. Y'all Free Hug children gather around. I am going to confess that I may or may not be responsible for tossing Mr. Morrison into Free Hugsigndom. But hey, there is a style. Remember to have it on both sides of your shirt, cuase you never know who might come up from one side. And if you're gonna give hugs, put your pins elsewhere, or your subjects will be in pain. I say this very modestly from the point of view of a future evil overlord, if overlords can be modest.

71's been giving out free hugs at least since the 2002 IRI (I can't remember if we gave out many at competitions, we were too busy with a golf game we had), when a couple guys from the team wanted a contest to see how many hugs they could get. I jumped in later in the day and beat them all. (They had trouble getting hugs from other guys.) At any rate, 71 won the team spirit award that year because of our hugs. Also, to keep any pins from sticking you, it's easiest to duct tape the signs on to your shirt.

The other day at work, a friend of mine asked another friend, James, if he could buy her something. James' reply was, "No, but i can give you a free hug." I instantly thought 'ROBOTICS COMPETION!' and started cracking up. They just stared at me. lol

It's no wonder so many teams give out free hugs, they're one of the only giveaways that you know won't be thrown out later.

:::HUGG:: for Bharat Nain. Sweet. Online free hugs.
My bad Elyse. ^^ It was just strange. When I met your team at Midwest, NOBODY was wearing FreeHugs signs. Then I attacked andy. That was fun. *evil*.

Hmmm. I dunno. People always end up getting me with pins. Maybe cause they're too tall or something...
