It isn’t a direct answer to your question, but 2052 has been using BitBucket for a few years because they offer unlimited private repositories for free for educational groups. Setting it up took just a single email, and our entire domain was whitelisted, so anyone who registers with an @team2052.com address gets an educational account.
We actually have 20 repositories right now, so if we were to go with GitHub we would have to start paying when we create the repository for the 2016 robot.
In 2012 I was able to get free private repos by email them at [email protected]. The only hoop I had to jump through was they made us create a new organization account for our team.
OK teams, lets up the ante with the Automation Direct voucher!
The first 10 teams that use the Automation Direct Voucher AND post here with the items they purchased, will be issued a second $30 voucher. We will also pick another 5 teams (at random) that use their vouchers this weekend (“weekend” starts now and award them another voucher also.
Two teams have already used their vouchers (congrats to 3049 and 2493) - and quite a few others have “claimed” their voucher (on our site) - but haven’t completed check out.
I’ll repeat the instructions here:
IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
We cannot apply the discount AFTER you place an order!
Orders must be placed online. No ‘call in’ orders. Stock items ordered by 6:00pm EST will ship the same day.
Orders must ship to a US or Canadian address.
The voucher cannot be used towards shipping fees. Orders under $49 are shipped ground to US addresses for a flat rate of $6 (a credit card (or PayPal) will be required to pay for shipping). Orders to Canada will incur brokerage fees. Larger orders may qualify for free two-day shipping - see Web Site for details:
OK, that’s more like it! Now I feel like our voucher program has been officially “kicked off”…
I didn’t count, but we’re close to 10 already, remember that we’ll pick some random teams (that have ordered by then) on Monday also. And please keep posting, I think it helps other teams to see which parts are popular from our selection of ~15,000 automation items!
Don’t forget that Automation Direct always ships “same-day” for in-stock parts (and over 98% are!). And 2-day SHIPPING IS FREE whenever you SPEND $49 or more (sorry, the $30 voucher doesn’t count towards the $49).
So, order now and get some great automation parts to fortify YOUR “Stronghold”!
I think we’re #10, if I counted correctly. Thanks for the (extra) support!
We haven’t done pneumatics since 2013 … We haven’t done working pneumatics since 2010 … We haven’t done correct pneumatics … ever. Thanks for the gentle push to expand our boundaries.
Chip listed our team in the initial post, but I also followed the direction to post the transaction in the thread as well, so don’t count us twice (FRC 2493)
