Team/robot trading cards

Were not nearly a large enough trademark to make into trading cards.

Nah you're taking it too seriously. It's only for the other teams at your respective competition. It allows for networking and easier communication about your robot's abilities.

Greetings,
If your team could do trading cards, mini flyers, flyers, and posters where the "standard" design template was done by a professional designer, do you think you'd be interested. This is an idea I've had for a long while. I've always thought that the following items could be useful:

> "Micro fliers" -- business-card sized fliers that could carry robot, team, or regional information

> "Mini fliers" -- postcard-sized fliers with the same type of info..

> Postcards that could be mailed or printed and used for promotion, fundraising, or anything you can dream up.

> Fliers that could be posted or distributed to promote your team, robot, services (e.g. "Team in a Box), regionals, off-season events and initiatives, etc.

> Posters (11x17) for the same purposes.

Before I mount a substantial volunteer effort, I'd love to know if any of this would appeal to you/your team.

The "given" is that the material would be good (printing quality & paper), fast (produced within 2-3 days), cheap (good pricing, but not free -- gotta pay for paper and ink, you know), and easy to use.

Is this appealing? Are there other uses you feel would be "gotta have's?"

Cheers,

John

Our team is VERY small (12 students usually) and we do them.
They are easy to do (thanks to team 1002) and they are very inexpensive.

Does anyone still have the team 1002 template by any chance? I can't seem to find my copy anymore.... Thanks!

Trading cards are a very interesting idea. Better hold on to any rookie cards...

I should have it somewhere.
I can get it to you Tuesday if you send me your email.

One team from each regional should be responsible for distributing cards. Like, the teams would submit there design to the distributer teams, one from each regional, and they print them out and give them away. The legendary teams will have like fewer cards, so there harder to collect

Our team saw this forum and instantly though... lets make them... well not them but they were like... 'This is a great idea. Amanda, go make them.' Well I did but now I need to know what dimentions are they usually. I picked typical business card size because that was easiest but I don't know if that's what's best or what you guys would recommend. A little help please.
