FIRST Choice Round 1: Slight Delay & a Tweak
Written by the FIRST Robotics Competition Kit of Parts Team.


Internal issues caused a delay in part assignment, and as a result, FIRST Choice Round 1 results won’t be shared with teams until Friday, 12/9. Additionally, we’re moving the opening of FIRST Choice “regular” ordering until 12/13 (starting at Noon, Eastern Time). We’ll update FIRST and AndyMark sites where these dates are referenced.

Also, we meant to present the 1.94 in. and 2.55 in. spacers as packs of eight, not singles. We’re fixing that: the credit value will stay at five, the website will be updated, and the shipments will be kits of eight.

Thank you for your understanding, and please accept our apologies for the delay and the change in product details.
Not sure if this was appropriate for the other FIRST Choice thread, but made a separate thread anyway, if not just to alert people.

I'm curious if the delay was caused by teams trying to max out credits or items in their list because that would be really funny.

No.

(PS: You missed the Jerry Budd Prize by two items.)

Man ........ I was pumped coming into work today and expecting good news on our FC wish list. Now I have that same feeling I had as a kid when I realized that Santa wasn't coming again this year.

I'll get over it tomorrow I'm sure ......

UGH... I wish you hadn't told me that. I knew it was going to be close...

Also, I won't confess to having used a script to do it! NEVER! I'm guessing I missed something in the manual portion that I did. :(

Well, we've established that it's not at least one thing. Care to share any more info on what went wrong. Did the registration server crash FIRST Choice this time?

Jerry Budd Prize?

(If this is a joke from FUN, I missed most of that episode)

It was also on the Behind the Lines epsiode. Jerry Budd (from AndyMark) offered to pay $20 of the shipping charges for the team that submitted the priority list with the most items on it.

I believe Kate Pilotte offered to match him on the FUN episode, but I can't confirm.

Jerry put up $20 towards shipping to the team that put the most items on their list. Kate Pilotte then put up $20 for the team with the most line items on their list. Marshall missed out on both by thaaaaaaaaaaat much.

Jeez! Rub it in! I came up a couple items short on purpose just to prove I could do it. I just didn't want to deprive Jerry of $20. ;)

Now I wish I had watched that episode. I would have gone in and spent more than $20 worth of my manhours to get $20 off shipping by adding every item I could. :rolleyes:

Hmm, Interesting. What specifically was the issue with paying?

Usually Israel teams pays to FIRST Israel and then FIRST Israel pays to USFIRST for registration. Probably there was a delay in the transaction between FIRST Israel and USFIRST or another problem in changing the status of the teams from unpaid to paid...

Well since we are apparently plugging: Here's where Jerry talks about the $20 and Kate adds on.
