Our team is trying to order the free pistons provided by Bimba here (http://www.bimba.com/Login/?ReturnUrl=%2fFIRST-Form-Open%2f) however it is asking for a username and password, that we can't find anywhere, with no option to create a new account. Does anyone know where we find these details?

Have your lead mentor log into your TIMS account. The information should be in there.

There is no Bimba info in our TIMS.

There is no RoboRIO info either. They probably have not put the all the post kick off stuff in yet.

Does anyone have information on this?

That worked perfectly - where did you find that link?

I dont see a lot of detail on their website.

I assume these are all double action cylinders ? Is there a way for us to get single action ?

Does anyone know how much shipping costs and how long it takes ?

You could simply leave one port open to atmosphere to mimic a single-acting cylinder. If you need the spring return, that's easy enough to reproduce yourself (use elastic or similar to pull the piston to the resting state).

Does anyone know when if the link has expired?
I just tried it and it's asking for a login.

Our team used an old piston this year, but we would like to still take advantage of the free pistons this year as parts for next year, but we are doing it very late in the game.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

It may not have expired on Bimba's website, but if you do not have the code off of TIMS, it is too late because the site is already reset for the 2016 season. From what I am aware, the other vouchers expired around the time of champs.
