Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

The list appears to be sorted by FC Part # (second column). This is the order in which items appear on the "Everything" tab on the FC website.

EDIT:
My list appears to have the first 12 items sorted in this way, but not in this way for any items past that. Seems a little unlikely that this is just coincidence, but I don't know why the system would break down at the twelfth item.

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

Here is what we received:
-cRIO, 4-slot Controller and I/O Kit (fc15-049)
-Quadro K4000 Video Card (fc15-114)
-Power Distribution Board (fc15-054) x 3
-Digital Sidecar (fc15-053) x 3
-Microsoft Lifecam HD3000 Camera (fc15-016)
-4 inch Stealth Wheel, 500 Hex Bore (fc15-004) x 8
-Snap Action Breaker Kit (fc15-115) x 2
-REV Protoboard (fc15-029)
-Freelin-Wade Transparent Blue Tubing (fc15-012)
-Diagonal Cutter (fc15-100)

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

In ours it listed our requested priority list and then the Total column is where you are told if you had the requested quantity. Our first box for example was: Priority 1, the part number fc15-008, Name 12V Battery, Credits 50, Requested Quantity 2, Total 100. Because the total is 100, we know that we received our requested quantity, 50 * 2 = 100.

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

My list is in the order in which I actually entered each item onto the Priority List. I have one item, entered late, that's way down on the list in the order in which I entered things, but that I later changed to a priority of 5.

Are you seeing something like that?

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

2 Batteries
2 Encoder
1 Charger
6 1/4 collars (No hex - really wanted them)
6 1/2 collars
Black Tubing
4 Breadboards
1 Video Card
4 9015 Motors
4 Victors (No Jaguars - really wanted them)

Had to go to the 16th item on our list to complete 600 credits - missed 6 - so 62.5% success.

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

Yep, I think you hit the nail on the head.;) The list in the PDF is the order in which I added them to the priority list, regardless if I re-ranked them.

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

We got lift motors, digital side car, pd board, encoders, & a smattering of other stuff. Strangely enough, did not get any tubing. The PD boards are nice for off season projects & the sidecar will be hard to replace if you need one.

There are a bunch of victors left, 5000+. If you are short motor controllers, Victors aren't bad. And Fluke meters. we didn't order one because we already have enough meters, but it is a good deal, I am surprised they didn't sell out.

While we didn't get some of the things we wanted, I like the process better previous years.

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

Well, I guess they were serious about requesting like 2000 credits of stuff if you wanted to spend all 600 credits.

For 420 credits:

1 Battery Charger
4 Gates HTD 131 Tooth Belt, 15mm
4 Gates HTD 170 Tooth Belt, 15mm (fc15-015)
1 Microsoft Lifecam HD3000 Camera
2 Victor 888
2 47mm OD, 17mm ID Bearings
2 26mm OD, 10mm ID Bearings
1 Green Ring Light
1 Ethernet Cable
1 Dry Erase Board
1 Micro switch, set of 10
1 Igus 2014 Bag

Contemplating getting two more Victors and going to town on cheap items.

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

Ditto here! Next time think before you click, the rearranging the order seems to be just superficial, looks could be deceiving!

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

Anyone else a little disappointed in the availability of items? Seems that there just wasn't near as much as last year. We didn't fair too well, batteries were in spots 2 and 3, didn't get either. Trying to figure out what I'm going to do with a $700 video card that was quite a ways down the list, but needed to add points.

Re: FIRST Choice, what did you get?
 

FIRST Choice is all about donations. If they do not receive a lot, they can not give a lot.
