Mooshbot Minions: What's this? Oh, nothing...

Just 1000+ pieces of Mooshbot Minion tokens.  ;)

It's a busy weekend for me.  Updates to come.  :)  Stay tuned!

Mooshbot Minion challenge coins.  MmmMmm.... :)

Mooshbot Minions: Challenge Coins, Ahoy! + Updates

The challenge coins have landed!

Thank you one and all for helping get this project off the ground.  :)  They came out great!  I couldn't have done this without your support.

Now to tackle the rest of the stuff, Minions!

Finals are coming up for me here in a couple of weeks, so I'll be in and out of the Interwebz.  After that,  my focus will be on starting up a Tumblr or something of the sort so that y'all can start sharing RAOKs with one another.

I had meant to order the plastic Mooshbot tokens a few weeks ago but it slipped my mind as I was in "midterm mode."  I'll order them tomorrow now that my weekend has started.  :)

Cheers!

Mooshbot Minions: Coin & Token Update

The guys and gals have been workin' up a storm to get this part of the project off the ground.  The challenge coins should be in my hands in 4-6 weeks.  :D  I'm super excited.

We'd finalized the design to be the following:

Front.

Back.  The name/Minion number is just there as reference.  :)  The challenge coin will come with that section blank so that Minions can engrave as they please.

We'd decided to go with a 1.5" size coin in antique silver or black nickel.  The preference was originally for black nickel, but it might have come out too dark to see the proposed design.

Soon after the challenge coin is finalized, we're working on the design of "business cards" and plastic tokens for handing out/leaving around to remind people to commit a random act of kindness and to pay it forward.

During finals week, I used to put a few dollars into an envelope with a note card attached, stuck to the snack machine, telling fellow students to have a snack/drink on me.  This time around, I'd like to try it with the note card/business card and the token in hopes that people would retain that token and continue to pay it forward.  :)

For the tokens, we're thinking of plastic molded ones, with the same or very similar design to that of the challenge coin.  Perhaps I'll redo the backside for the tokens unless people would want to "etch" in their name.  There was also the option of wooden nickels like that of the prototype coins in a previous post, but the plastic ones may last longer.  

Cheers!  :)

Mooshbot Minions: Coin Prototype

Finished my first couple Mooshbot Minion prototype coins.  They didn't turn out horrible, is all I could say.  haha :D  These ones are mine (#355) and KAMM's (#002).  I couldn't think of anything to write in the back, so I just went with, "Create a smile.  It starts with you."  Which... to be honest, I'm not *too* fond of.  haha

:)  Uphold the values of the Minions, y'all!  I'll soon start up a list of names of our fellow Minion brethren.

Mooshbot Minion V1.0: RoboCow

Mooshbot Minion V1.0 - RoboCow

I got a little bored in class today and was really hooked on the idea of making Mooshbot Minion tokens of sorts.  Beer tokens, challenge coins, dog tags, poker chips, wood nickels... I think I like the poker chip idea best.  Nice size and all.

Mooshbot Minions just like to make people smile... which is kind of the whole point of the journey of my blog.  As it says in the heading, you've got to find a reason to smile and not forget to create it for others.  How awesome would it be if all of the Mooshbot Minions slowly infected the world, one smile and good deed at a time?  :P
