Medals from past years.

Hi everyone, I was wondering if any teams have any extra medals from the past years. I’m looking for bronze medals with the following quantities:
3 bronze medals - 2002
1 bronze medal - 2003
2 bronze medals - 2004
2 bronze medals - 2005
2 bronze medals - 2006
2 bronze medals - 2007

    The reason that I am looking for these is because we are making plaques for our trophy case at our school and for plaques we are giving our sponsors.  These donations would be greatly appreciated by any teams and we would be willing to pay for any shipping costs.  Thank you.:) 

                                                      -Josh (Team 987)

I don’t think FIRST gave out bronze medals pre-2005.

Gold: Chairmans, Winner
Silver: EI, Finalist
Can’t remember Rookie All-Star, but I think that might be bronze or gold.

Bronze: Participation. Started 2005.

I’m pretty sure Eric is right.

I definitely got a bronze medal in 2004. I seem to remember this being a participation medal, and only pretending that it was because we won Rookie All-Star. Did they really not give these to everyone?

I have bronze participation metals going back to 2002.

Huh. I only remember 2005 and later. Then again, they might have only given them out at the first event, and I seem to remember regional wins/finalists at the first event back to 2001.

I think we have spares of the older medals. We use them as door chimes…

I have bronze metals from 03 and 04. I know they definitely exist. I’m not sure what year they started doing the bronze participation medals, maybe you can shoot an e-mail to FIRST and see if they have any extras. (Its a long shot, but doesn’t hurt to ask)

Does anyone know where we can order extra medals from this year? We need to order a few more Engineering Inspiration ones. I heard that there was a form on the FIRST site, but I haven’t been able to find it.
Thanks

Here’s the order form:

I have a 1998 bronze medal :wink:

I have one from 2000 also.

If I remember correctly, pre-2005 bronze/participation medals were optional and putchased by teams. These were not given out in any quantity as participation unless purchased seperately.
