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

I really like the rubber bracelets because people will wear those almost all year if they look cool (someone else probably suggested this but i don't feel like reading all the pages) .

Another thing i just thought of is shoes laces in your colors (like one blue and one green) and have your team name on it, now that would be awesome.

What about free injuries?

Or is that just a given with the job?

Last year I got a foam cell phone at nationals, that was a fun little toy I still goof around with.

The coolest thing a team could give out was a button with a bunch of lights on it so that by pressing a button it would say different things.

Our team this year is considering passing out yo-yos. They come in the standard circle shape but also a triangle and square. FIRST shapes!!. I am sick nasty with a yo-yo.

The best thing I have ever seen handed out where plastic veiner calipers at the Finger Lakes regionals. don't know from who. Also anything with blinking lights is popular. SO SHINY!!!

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

The most awesome thing that our team has ever given away were some little pens that you have to click out (fold out) to open and use. The problem was they are expensive (a bit over a dollar each) and the following quotes as people snapped themselves opening the pens:

Student 1: Ow!
Student 2: What? Ow! Oh...
Student 3: Huh? Ow! Ah...
Student 4: Ow!
...And so forth.

They were so much fun, though, and we used them for scouting purposes.

A couple of years ago the ThunderChickens handed out tattoos. I still have one or two.

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

Teams should totally give out safety glasses with their logo on it. Hate my team's glasses and I would wear anything even if it had someone elses logo on it. Or you could just make some for your team.
