I'd note that this varies to some extent from venue to venue. Often it's just the "pit" area (typically the cafeteria, at least in school venues), where teams retire between rounds/judging to tinker, practice, etc. I mention this only because space may be at a premium -- a team who brings a huge display may be disappointed that there really isn't anywhere to put it up. You might ask the tournament director in advance. (OTOH, I remember a team with a giant [five-foot?] Papier-mâché lobster that was a huge hit -- they carried it around with them all day!) -- Phil Smith III Coach, The Capital Girls (retired) Team 1900 (2002) Team 2497 (2003) Team 2355 (2004) Team 1945 (2005) -----Original Message----- From: First Lego League in Virginia and DC [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Thomas Bove Sent: Wednesday, October 05, 2011 10:26 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [VADCFLL-L] Team give aways At the competitions there is a general display area in which teams are gathered. Many groups have "give aways" to share with other teams. The high school age FTC/FRC use buttons with their team logo, and our FLL group went with that last year. The kids loved giving/trading their buttom with other teams. Our budget was determined by our fundraising. I think we spent about $200 on buttons, but that included going to the state competition, and having leftovers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE or CHANGE your settings, please visit https://listserv.jmu.edu/archives/vadcfll-l.html and select "Join or leave the list". -- VADCFLL administrative announcements are sent via VADCFLL-ANNOUNCEMENTS-L.
