We just received this email. They are resetting the votes and starting over. There was a glitch that allowed a group to gain more than 15K votes overnight. Here is what the email said and please remember to vote! Thanks again!
Dear FIRST teams,
We are experiencing unforeseen technical difficulties with our Engineering Our Future™ video contest. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through the issues. We are blown away by the number of videos submitted globally. Our goal for this contest was to inspire young minds and hope you have been inspired throughout the creation of your video.
In the spirit of Coopertition, we are resetting voting to ensure everyone has an equal playing field. Voting will be reset on Friday, Nov. 15 by 8 a.m. CDT and will conclude on Friday, Nov. 29 at 11:59 p.m. CDT.
We encourage you to continue campaigning for votes from your friends, families and supporters to win a team grant. You’re welcome to tweet, send updates on Facebook, text, email and more.
Sincerely,
Engineering Our Future Video Contest Committee
