pic: FIRST Proposed Medallion and Pin

[Mr. Pockets]

I must say, most of my arguments were in favor of the medals, but the pin shown looks pretty sweet.

In destination imagination (previously known as "Oddessy of the Mind") teams from each of the states can purchase pins unique to their states to trade at globals. Michigan teams had roughly 12 different pins unique to Michigan teams that they could trade. I'm not saying that FIRST necessarily come out with 240 different participation pins ( ), but it might be cool for there to be three or four different pins randomly distributed to participants. This would allow there to not only be variety and possibly creativity amongst the awards, but also allow for award recipients to collect or trade the participation pins amongst themselves. (Shrugs) Just an idea.
