Re: FRC Blogged - FIRST Choice 2014

This is about what I expected to see, which reflects positive expectations as a result of various other good decisions that we've seen lately.

I am not sure if the changes are good, Saturday means more people trying to order at the same time, the website will be slower and it will take a lot of time to order something.
It took me 45 minutes to order from the FIRST Choice liquidation....
limiting the quantities may be a better solution

They already said they're limiting quantities. But if you really want the website traffic to be slow, the best way would be to limit the quality of the items. Just make sure all the items are crap, and nobody will bother to clog up the website.

To help test these new features and the new ordering site, please fill out the form located at http://bit.ly/HwD86u and you will be sent more information. The beta test should take between 15 and 30 minutes. Thank you to those of you who take this effort on!

As a sub-1000 team that had issues logging in last year, then having issues with stuff in my cart being taken before I could check out, I am very happy to help test this system.

This is a great step in the right direction. I would have to say that if I am personally not available at the date and time needed I am sure I could get at least 5 people volunteer to step in for me. I would even be willing to give them the credit card, login information, password, my height, weight, shoe size, inseam, favorite color,... you get the idea. Whatever it takes to get'er done.

My thoughts exactly. This looks like an excellent improvement...and any team that says that they won't be able to do that Saturday needs more volunteers and better planning!

I'm hoping it will show actual quantities in stock and also the ordering quantity limits well before opening so we can plan accordingly.

Can it be a blue or red crayon, so that we don't overwhelm suppliers and cause blue crayons to be out of stock for a while?

You can get 6 Talons from FIRST Choice.

No, that's how many are available to acquire. For all the teams.

Re: FRC Blogged - FIRST Choice 2014

Dear First:

An item limit of one or perhaps two on any high demand item like talons would be a very good idea.

Then you can open up the rest of the unsold components when we get our second batch of FIRST choice points at kickoff.

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 06:07.
