When will the kits for the sponsored challengers be shipped?

Being the 4th day in the competition with no emailed information about shipping of the sponsored challenger's kits, I am worried that the kits will not be here within enough time to learn about the sensors and build them into the project. A confirmation for addresses would be great, or a date on when they will be shipped and/or delivered. Thanks, DeltaPi.

Hi all! We ended up running into some very small delays but I can assure you that all of the kits should be shipped out by next week at the latest. I'll make sure everyone receives tracking info as well…

I went to your profile, which is the primary address of record that we use for shipments. Your profile indicates a Washington U.S. address. I looked up your application to the Design Challenge; a Texas U.S. address is provided. When a member applies for an activity, the form is automatically populated with the profile address. This may have been the source of the mix up. Did you tell someone that you want it shipped to another unverified address? We encourage members to keep their profile address current; that is the address we perceive to be verified. In the past, we have had instances when someone gave us an alternate address and it was wrong and the kit was lost. The best policy is to update your profile address to your current address.

For all those who were selected for the Under Pressure challenge, involving the MikroE click boards and the Arduino Uno, I will be shipping those out today. Please watch for emails from UPS that will provide you shipping status!

Hi Milos, your kit was just shipped! I'll be watching the UPS updates via email to see that it clears customs on its way to you.
