Here's a strange story for you. Last week, we started hearing rumors that other teams had received their controllers. Late Tuesday I bopped off an EMail to FIRST asking where in the process our's was.
Wednesday morning, when I walked into school, there was a box in my lab. I immediately sent FIRST a "Boy, you guys are GOOD!" EMail, and alerted the students to start salivating.
The next day (Thursday), I got a message from FIRST saying,
"Thank you for your e-mail. I have looked at your information on TIMS and everything seems to be in order. Please note that when the shipment for your team goes out your team's shipping contact is emailed with the tracking information. If your team's shipping contact has not received an email yet it is because your shipment has not gone out yet. The early shipment of the control system is going out on a rolling basis, as of now I do not see your team on the list of shipments that have been made thus far."
The curious thing is ... I never received word that the controller was shipped, yet it arrived. But more puzzling is why we weren't on the list of shipments already made.
