Re: Encyclopedias?
I also received the email and the only information that you had to provide was a verification of the mailing address. I sent it last week and the books (all three boxes) arrived to day. I know that the set is not inexpensive and do appreciate the offer from Britannica. It is always a nice thing when the robotics team has the chance to impact the rest of the school.

Re: Encyclopedias?
I never even heard anything about them giving encyclopedias but it seems like they gave 'em to alot of teams. And that's a good idea,(giving them to a school) when ours arrive, we could give them to our school and maybe they might start giving us some kind of support or something. Either way, 'tis is pretty cool.

Re: Encyclopedias?
This is very odd. Today our teacher mentor received a phonecall relating to something about FIRST and encyclopedias. I will be sure to mention this thread to her.

Re: Encyclopedias?
I too, can confirm the encyclopedias are real - we received ours as well. Very prompt shipping! Thanks to Encyclopedia Brittanica for this gift!

Re: Encyclopedias?
Encyclopedia Britannica is giving away encyclopedias to the teams that have achieved a particular level of merit, like the Chairman's Award.
Don't worry if if didn't go to Atlanta or whatever. They are just trying to support FIRST in a way that is convenient for them. Just answer their correspondence and confirm the shipping information and be gracious and accept their gift. It is not a scam. Our set is being shipped to the school library for use by the student body. Certain classes require library research (not google'ing) so the gift is welcome. Everyone together now, say 'thank you'.

Re: Encyclopedias?
They're also giving teams some software and internet subscription stuff, but it's being done through a slightly different vendor. They told me that would be coming along later.
The electronic stuff is 10 copies, while the encyclopedia is only 1 copy. Multi-school teams, take note... |
