Team 980 received both emails! We only submitted one application.

We received the "Congratulations!" email at 10:51a PST, then a rejection email at 12:21p PST.

We replied to the Congrats email indicating we received a rejection email.

Wonder how this will play out...

There isn't an FTC team 980, is there? They might have gotten mixed up.

Team 4276 got an EKOCYCLE printer as well! Now we have this one plus the Cube from last year. Looking forward to trying out the "recycled" filament.

Yesterday during our CAD training session, I challenged a student to CAD up a water bottle we could 3D print with it. So we can convert old water bottles, into recycled printer filament, back to a usable water bottle! This will be the first "test" part on our queue once we get the new printer, haha.
