[Deptheads] Gamex 2015

You might consider a C-clamp attached to the edge of the table with a flag attached to it.  Smaller to store.  Doesn't take up table space.  Won't fall over.

 Something
 simple and functional is all I am looking for.  The bases
 we have right now actually work fine, but they are very Home
 Depot DIY.  I would even be okay if someone took the bases
 we have, which I am sure are in storage now, and painted or
 covered them so they don't look like a piece of pipe
 screwed into a piece of wood (which is exactly what they
 are).
 Ballast
 is not a big issue.  If you look at the bases we have now,
 they are literally a 3" square pieces of wood.  There
 was really no need for ballast in the nice bases that were
 made.  I don't know why the pennies were ever added. 
 In fact, I think they might have hurt more than helped, by
 giving the bases enough heft to break each other when being
 stored.

  I have been
 thinking about new (or additional) bases for a while. My
 intention would be to leave the bases on the tables and swap
 out flags, but that's a discussion for a later
 time. 
 As far as base design goes, I think Kens machine
 would leave us in the same pickle of needing ballast. Using
 bases like mine would work and I was considering talking to
 one of our vendors to laser up something to fit on top that
 says Strategicon and any other info we need. They would look
 nice and be somewhat resilient. 
 Just throwing it out there.
 I welcome all feedback.

 What about those 3-D art things,
 Something-Maker, Ken at Payouts was displaying stuff last
 year. We're not not necessarily looking for the quality
 you produced, but the wood bases are the complete opposite.
 I think Shane would be good with a compromise.
 Main requirements, looks decent,
 doesn't break easily, stays standing.Am I
 wrong?

 There are a lot of places that
 do rapid prototyping, none of them will be in our budget.
 The machine I made those on cost 1 million. My company
 decided that was better than paying a parts house (industry
 slang for a place that does that kind of work). I could get
 quotes and let you know.
