Re: Anybody hear of this - 3D printers for every FIRST team
Wanted to publically thank Team 330 - Beach Bots for contributing to our project. Your contribution triggered an e-mail which caused us to look at the donorschoose webpage. Only then did we discover that the "Almost Home" funding had been applied to our project. We quickly funded the remaining amount and had the process completed by about 8:10 last night.
In the first 10 days of the project donors who include the code INSPIRE with their donation can get up to $100 matched by other donors. We did test this function during our final funding push and found it to work. This suggests that even without the "Almost Home" funding teams might be able to secure the technology by raising only half of the funds.
I expect MakerBot to continue to search for funding to honor their goal. We did not have the resources to add this technology without their generous support. Check often, act quickly, and Good Luck.
