I have noticed through my two years in FIRST that you collect alot of buttons from other teams. I have 50-60, i am sure alot of people have more than that…
I have about 30 I think, I didn’t get a chance to go button hunting this past year, but I hope to get a bunch this year.
I still have my buttons from my freshman year (and already graduated…)
I’d like to say 300+ From all the places i’ve been…
I dunno honestly how many I have. I’ve got a lot of buttons, but then I also got beads and everything else to from teams.
I only have 20 or so… but next year hopefully I’ll get a button for each team at each regional we go to…and hopefully nats too.
Ive collected mine, or at least the ones that make it home…
I wear it to every competition.

If this one breaks, its all your faults.
In 2000 and 2001, I collected swag from EVERY team at 2 regionals and nationals (around 400, put together). That’s not including 1999, or since then. I’ll update when I get bored enough to count. (Hopefully not any time soon)
I tend to lose mine, but each year starting last season ('04), I’m saving them in bags and such. w00t! I’m dorky enough to label the bags. Haha. So right now I might have around 40-50. Heh need to find my ones from '03 and some from this past season. I hate when I lose my beloved buttons! cries

i had a lot when i left the competition and now all i have is one some how, its 294 beach city robotics… You guys should feel special now because your the only one! ahhaa
Our mascots outfit weighed literally more than 50 lbs, it was covered with buttons, he tried to get one button or more from just about every team at nats. It weighed so much that we had to ship the bee outfit with our tools and cart, because of the weight limit of luggage at the airport
I haven’t counted my collection of team buttons, but I did find something shocking on ebay a few minutes ago.
Not only did I find an item lot with one of our team’s 2004 Atlanta pins, but a SPAM pin among others…:yikes: :yikes:
I am at a loss for words, but I may bid on the lot just for the heck of it.
you know, i honestely never thought to count, but if i hafta guess i would say about 70 or so from the two years combined. (freshman year, i took the idea from my senior sister to try to collect every button at both regionals and national… i got further at regionals than i did at nationals cuz i was working in the pits most of the time) my motto of nationals this year… there’s nothin’ better than button huntin’!!!
100-150, from 1.5 years in FIRST. Freshman year I got ALOT.
