Re: Medals or pins--A poll

I'd love pins - you could stick them on your jacket and gradually collect a bunch of them, each a reminder of a year of competition.

I've got a ton of medals and ribbons from my competitive swimming days and they just sit in a box at my parent's place. You can't go around wearing medals and ribbons, but you can stick a pin in a hat or on a jacket and people will see it and ask about it.

On a practical spread-FIRST level, I think pins would be the way to go. More people would probably be willing (and allowed, in the case of those that have to wear business wear to work) to wear the pins day-to-day than would be willing to wear FIRST t-shirts or their medals. This means that more people will ask about FIRST, more people will hear about it, and potentially you'll get more mentor or volunteer support.

Those FTC pins look amazing, makes me want to switch to FTC.

The objects all fit on a table. That's kind of a big deal no?

I voted for other... could almost have been both... but don't want both unless the team earns the medal, so... "other"
