As part of thinning down our teams surplus stuff and also because I like tracking the history of FRC and our team I have a lot of previous years game props and FTC field elements we don’t have room for in my shop at home. Does anyone else use them as decorative items in a home workshop or have a display case for your FRC/FTC/FLL stuff?
I kept the rover lander and the sky bridge from FTC (it was just too cool imo), one of every game piece from FRC 2012-present and a lot of random FTC extras from 2017-2021. Any good ideas for displaying the game pieces if you do show them off? I’m thinking a book shelf with printed holders is my best bet. Some of the game pieces were signed by the students on the team that year that I coached so those seem like the ones to show off.
I have a special Moon ball from 2009’s game Lunacy that FR 1511 made to practice with. I loved the red, black and white colors that they decorated with as it match my own team colors and kept it on top of a lamp in my bedroom for years. I tossed the lamp out a few years ago and just recently gave it to our Chiweenie Penny to play with. She adores it.
I also have a green garbage pail from the 2015 game Recycle Rush which I use as my hamper.
I have a gear and a hatch panel on my wall but they fell off recently I need to reattach them. Also have my inspector hat, and shirts from various championships I’ve been to on the same wall.
Not exactly a display, but I have a bunch of FLL field models on top of one of my dressers. Also 4 mats which I intended to hang on a wall, but then didn’t have the wall space for.
