First, I'm unsure if this post will sound unappreciative, so let me state - I am extremely appreciative of all the people and companies that support FIRST and my team.

I emailed 16Hertz about the PDV last year and received an automated email stating that 'Your request has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff. To add additional comments, reply to this email.'

I have responded multiple times and these emails are totally ignored. I know they're out of stock or something, but I've suggested what I think is a fair alternative solution.

I might be ignorant about how these promotions work, and if so I'm sorry. If any of our registration fees went to 16Hertz, I hope FIRST sees how horribly this promotion went and leaves 16Hertz out of future KoPs. 16Hertz got their name out there and seemed to fulfill regular orders while failing to hold up their end of the deal.

If the Leonardo++ were completely a donation from 16Hertz I suppose FIRST should give them another chance. But promising to donate something then ignoring customer concerns about it doesn't sit right with me. I guess if this is the case, I'd have to have a neutral opinion of 16Hertz...

Does anyone have any insight into how these promotions work?
