This being my first year attending a regional, I was quite amazed at what some of the teams were giving away. From talking to my team mates I knew there was going to be a ton of them. But I never expected such "grand" things.

So here is what I pose to you, the FIRST community (wow that sounds too formal). What was your top 5 favorite give-a-ways from a team at your regional from this year? (please include what regional you attended)

There's been so many cool things I got this year, I wouldn't be able to choose just one. So my top 5 give-a-ways are:

Florida Regional
1. 1341's coconuts
2. 1543's hats/beads
3. 79's little duckies
4. 1319's "smarter than monkeys" buttons
5. 21's power ranger buttons.

Most of our buttons we printed ourselves (I don't think our mentors liked them, but I really don't know), so we ran out of the really fun buttons, like the Power Rangers and Chuck Norris. But for SC we are printing a whole bunch.

I think the funnest things I've seen were actually when my sister was on the team (back in '01 and '02 when I was too young). I really liked the Thunder Chickens key chains (I don't know if they still give them out). Also, I think they were called Dragon Slayers, gave out the swords that pulled out.

I found it strange how we weren't allowed to clap the coconuts together in the stands, while one team was using a drum during the competition, in the pits and in the stands.

I was a little upset about that, because we weren't allowed to bring in instruments, and the team had drums. But I can't really complain because we were clapping the coconuts together the entire time.

Maybe it's because they didn't want people bringing horses into the Regionals.

My favorite Give-a-way from the Buckeye Regional was Team 70 and Team 494's Alien plushies.

My favorite give away was adams bot little sharpy, kept it around my neck which allowed me to be able to work without having to look for a sharpy in the 469 mess xD

4 years(2002) ago at nationals our team gave out soap ( i think it offended some people, but every one got a good laugh)

This is probably a little random but I would LOVE to see a team give out little nalgene bottles with their team name on it.

ATTENTION CHAMPIONSHIP TEAMS

I would like to have any or all of your team giveways. Stop by Team 204's pit and I may have something to give to you.
