I see no problem with that.. lol Buy all the stuff you forget, and add a suitcase to carry it all back home to the shopping list as well.

I've only had to do that once.. We bought way to many souvenirs, and had to buy another suitcase to bring it all home in.

I guess I will also need a suitcase for my toothbrush, bathing suit, and socks..

You were too busy with other FIRST things when I was doing the NEMO Fall 2005 East Coast tour so you missed the boat on the shirt, Jenny, sorry!

Re: Essential items to pack for Atlanta?

My planned packing list:

-Clothing (including dark pants--khakis get too dirty too quickly around robots)
-Toiletries (obviously)
-iPod full of some good music for the four-hour drive each way, plus the obligatory FM transmitter. (Maybe by the end, I'll have the entire White Album memorized. Hellll-tah skellllll-tah....)
-Swim trunks, if I can find them. (I haven't broken them out in about a year, so it'll be an experience trying to hunt them down.)
-Webhug raffle tickets, natch
-My good tennis shoes, handy for playing catch with Genia

Re: Essential items to pack for Atlanta?

For me there isn't an extensive list, but here it goes anyways.

-MONEY
-Team awards to hand out
-pocket knife and multi-tool (Remember to pack these in my checked luggage)
-t-shirts I owe people
-Clothing, including jeans, shorts, and the all important 217 shirt for Saturday.
-Toiletries
-gum and breath mints
-camera... if I can find it
-iPod and headphones
-three frisbees, you can never have enough frisbees
-Industrial grade sharpies
-the few pins i actually wear at competition. (including my "Dave says'That's pimp too!'" button)
-scouting sheets
-room for FIRST store stuff

That about covers it I think

Re: Essential items to pack for Atlanta?

If you've got a little spare room, pack a used paperback book to drop off at the All Rookie Meet and Greet for OperationPaperback. Or pack a new one and read it while you are traveling and then donate it!

The event is planned for the Rookies, but anyone can bring a book and a buck!

Friday at 11:30 on the mall between the pits (GWCC) and the Georgia Dome

Team 1511 is again sponsoring the All-Rookie Meet & Greet event; a well-attended fun event started in 2005.

***bring a used paperback book and a dollar. We'll be shipping the collected books to OperationPaperback for the US troops overseas! (No romance novels please)
here is the link to the info on the all rookie meet and greet!

Happy Packing!

Re: Essential items to pack for Atlanta?

Bring warm clothes. The nights are going down to the low 50's. we froze last year and we are from upstate NY. Also bring plenty of spare safety glasses.
