From the FRC Blog:

Please see below for a note from the Kit of Parts Team:

On November 4, we released some information about the software tools available as part of the Virtual Kit. Today, we’re excited to announce that a few more vouchers will be going live at noon eastern. Check out your team’s TIMS account for details on vouchers from:

  • AndyMark PDV: This voucher is only for teams who opted out of the KOP Drive System. Voucher code is available in TIMS.

  • American Button Machines: American Button Machines has donated their button design software, Build-A-Button. Visit www.AmericanButtonMachines.com/first-robot/ and use your Team’s code found in TIMS to get started!

  • Inventables: Use your Team’s code in TIMS to get free Inventables parts!
    This is the last set of Vouchers that will be released prior to Kickoff.

Our thanks to all of our Suppliers who make the Kit of Parts happen each year!

Does anyone know if the andymark PDV has to be used all at once or can I use it like a gift card, buying a little here and a little there?

The American Button Machines donation is a happy surprise. I wonder where the code can be found though.

The AndyMark PDV can be used on multiple orders placed from now until April 17, 2015. Any balance due can be paid with an alternative form of payment, any left over balance on the gift certificate will be applied to subsequent orders.

It was posted on TIMS at noon.

Of course it was. Serves me right for being on at 11:55.

On the other hand we got in to Kokomo District!

You had more important matters on your mind :slight_smile:

Does anyone know how much the Inventables voucher is for? Thanks.

All voucher codes are on TIMS, check with your main contact/

Last year Inventable voucher was for $30 or so.

Looks like we can order 90 buttons from American Buttons… check this

I am the main contact. The voucher code is on TIMS, but nowhere on TIMS or in any of the FIRST announcements does it state what the voucher is for. Thanks for the info about last year, though. It’s probably similar.

The Inventables voucher is for $30 this year.

You can see if you create a cart and use the code in the Gift Certificate entry.
It’ll give a total before you make the purchase and you can cancel it if you want to.

Thanks. I was worried about proceeding through the checkout process to find the value because I didn’t want to get locked into having used it and potentially lose it.

Everything on their site is just returning exceptions for me, hope they sort it out soon (if it isn’t just me).
