Go to Post Put on shows. Start new teams, FRC, FVC, or FLL. It doesn't matter. But I know that being on the robotics team has given me some of the best memories of my life, and I wouldn't want anybody else to miss out on that. - irishninja [more]

Or...
-Your favorite 1/4" drill bit (That you brought home with you so other people wouldn't mess it up)
-Your team's signature purple electrical tape
-Scrap aluminum
-A gear you spent a third of build season perfecting (that never got used)

And then when the newspaper takes your picture for being team Captain you proudly show all of this off while wearing your Letterman jacket with its robotics patches.

when checking CD is the FIRST thing you do in the morning.
