Still waiting...FIRST Choice

I've been waiting for ten minutes now for the FIRST Choice page to load. Any one else in the same boat?

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

Yup. I'm sure a lot of other people are, too.

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

No one as of yet has been able to make any purchases and post it on CD. It appears that the server is down.

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

Yeah,

Not able to get to website. What do you think? Go make lunch and come back in one half hour?

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

same here, I was logged in and at noon I hit refresh and nothing.

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

Sorry, I just couldn't resist

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

No it is Al Gores fault for not making the internet more robust

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

FIRST and AndyMark are aware of the problem and working to solve it. From @FRCTeams on Twitter:

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

Well, it's pouring rain in Southern Indiana. Not much else to do, but I was hoping this would go fast!

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

Man is this FRUSTRATING !!!!!

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

I was painting my living room, while waiting. Now I'm watching it dry.

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

Took 25 min for a page to come up. By then it had logged me out. Just now I got a page in 5 min to log in. Still waiting to login again though.

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

30 min and counting, I can ping it, but will not load. Was logged in, pushed add to cart and after 20 min. timed out, waiting to even get a page now

And I am missing the WRRF pre-season workshops that started a half-hour before the FCbyAM floodgates were to open. Fortunately I'm not teaching this session.

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

FRC Teams ‏@FRCTeams 1m
Still working to determine the issue. We will have more information on #FIRSTChoice at 1:00 PM Eastern.

from twitter

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

Read my lips, If you like your robot, you can keep your robot

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

The 1PM tweet will be "all First Choice items are sold out. Better luck next year." :eek:

Please realize this is sarcastic humor. The people at AndyMark & First did not plan this.

Since the some First Choice are donated. You really cannot demand they provide enough for all teams. Rookie team should get first choice on some items like cameras & compressors.

Re: Still waiting...FIRST Choice

The folks at Obamacare request your patience.
