Now if you were a little richer you could give away mini models of your robot that drive around and/or herd little soccer balls. Now that would be cool!

Great idea but... isn't there a rule against giving out/selling, or bringing in food from outside vendors?

Well buttons are getting to common i think
Then you have pamflets, very useful, but also overused
Frisbees, balls, and other novelty items are always a winner cause they are usually nifty and new.
Noise makers i feel are just plain annoying (my view)

But the i think the neatest thing would be food... that we know where it came from.

My Fav's

2000: At the Jonhson and Johnson Regional, one team gve out a gear and housing that was very nice. Its not a planetary gear, but thats the best thing i can call it, when it spund, it was different then its housing and caused an osciallting CAM motion.

2001: The FORD lightup necklace at Nationals, very cool usage of magnets to complete circuits.

Wow, this is amazing. I remember seeing all sorts of things @ VCU last year! My idea is to creat a HTML page and use it on a mini-CD with photos of Sparky 3.0 and pictures.

Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

I doubt that anything is refused. The most appreciated giveaway of course is information (digital or hard) pertinent to the robotics events. Our team [1111] does that and will at this year's Chesapeake Regional.
