FTC kit availability

I checked the Lego Education site and Pitsco and both have the Tetrix base kit out of stock. So where do we buy one? I have the Mindstorm NXT sets.

Parts can be purchased through First Choice.

Re: FTC kit availability

FIRST Choice has a limited supply of FTC kits. I expect they will be gone by tomorrow night if not sooner. AndyMark doesn't sell FTC/Tetrix kits, so where would we buy them if we aren't able to request them via FIRST Choice before they run out?

It does. All parts currently show as Out of Stock because it isn't available yet.

There were some glitches at first, but FIRST Choice has 500+ FTC Kits in stock, according to Andy from AndyMark:

The only cost is shipping.

Re: FTC kit availability

Seems like even after the dozens of emails and blog posts and links on the FRC homepage, and even mentioning it quite a few times in the kickoff video, many teams still don't know about FIRST Choice...

Got mine in 10 minutes or so when I ordered early this morning.

Does it matter? Order now; ask questions later! :)
