Also those Festo valves are a high value item and even if you don't use them you can always trade them to another team for something you could.

The Fluke is possible to find for ~$115 (interesting coincidence) and pretty easy to find for ~$135. We got one each of the last two years and we would have gotten a lot more (to replace the freebee Harbor Freight multimeter used in our physics classes) if they weren't limited to one per team. I can't imagine most teams would need more than two and if they're trying to get stuff to resell, the graphics cards have a greater $/credit ratio.

Re: First Choice 2013

Is anyone else having issues with First Choice? Our password in TIMS isn't working to log on. We had no issues with this on December 10th. I'm in the process of writing an email to frcteams@usfirst.org

Ours worked fine also. I almost used pdv password by accident, sure you are using the correct AndyMark code?

I too am experiencing login difficulties at FIRST Choice. My password and username are accepted but I cannot "accept" the agreement....I am sent back to the login screen.

Re: First Choice 2013

I know this is stupid of me, but I am with a rookie team and did not know what FIRST Choice was until today at kickoff. :( Now it seems pretty much everything that would be extremely helpful for us is out of stock. Does that mean its out of stock permanently? If so, what is left that we should most definitely get? Thanks so much.

I guess a related question is: last year were there any parts added post-kickoff that were a way better deal on FIRST Choice.

Well we tore through our basketballs last year and got more from FIRSTCHOICE for an ok price but the discs this year are standard and can be bought at a dollar store if you continually break them.

The DISCs are not standard. They are slightly different from "regulation" Frisbees. Differences might not matter, depending on your design, but ensure that you test with the official game piece, or you might have a bad time.
