Hi everyone, with Worlds approaching very quickly, I thought I would make this thread to pool ideas on how/when people who use the forums can meet to talk to each other at worlds. I think we should have a brainstorm over ways in which we can show who we are (as very few of us know what each other actually look like), as well as organising some time for everyone to go and meet, and possibly bring their robots and talk about them!
So, does anyone have any idea? I’m thinking a possibility could be that everyone wears a similarly themed badge with our forum username on them, or puts a Vex Forum sign on their robots, or something along those lines. Also, I would be keen to meet some people on the 18th if anyone is keen on organising a get-together at a certain place and time.
So, if you have any ideas or anything, please contribute :D.
Anyway, I think nametags are a good idea. I also think it would be cool if everyone had the same design nametag, because as well as making us recognisable to each other, it might encourage new people to use the forums as well! Does anyone have photoshop or something of the likes which they can use to make a nametag template? I would, but I don’t have photoshop on this computer, and I really don’t want to have to use paint :p.
I do have some photoshop knowledge but I don’t know what kind of template you wish to make. If you can describe to me a basic idea, I would totally do it.
Hmm, I’m not really sure. I was just thinking something like: “On VexForum I am:”
and a white space beneath it to write in the name. If anyone else can think of anything more exciting or original then suggest it :).
I’m thinking nametags with our forum names, as well as your real name. Some people might want their avatar on there too.
Do we need to all be wearing the same type of name tag? I figure teams would rather create their own design (for team colour schemes and such), as long as it’s clear, legible and obviously a forum name tag.
If we get the event layout map before Worlds, we’ll see if we can pick a definite location to meet up. A specific time might not work for all teams, so maybe we could just go somewhere and hang out when each person has time.
*Edit: Actually that won’t work very well. Lets just go with name tags, or you can state something that you will be wearing or something. (For example, I’m going to probably have blue hair)
Your asked for: “I think we should have a brainstorm over ways in which we can show who we are (as very few of us know what each other actually look like), as well as organising some time for everyone to go and meet, and possibly bring their robots and talk about them!”
I really look like my Profile Picture, since it is me…
Ahh… You want everyone to ware some kind of Identifier, at Worlds associating ourselves with out Forum Name… Rather than Pre-Identify Everyone…
Someone could Design a Name-tag Template, and post it as a .PGN file, then everyone could add their Forum User Name to it and Print It…
If everyone has a Smart Phone, that would work fine… “Hi, My name is Kevin and my Vexforum name is Firephoenix”… My QR Code Reader App for my new Phone seems to work well…
