Re: The FIRST Choice Value Coefficient

Quote:
2) The more likely it is that a part will go on the robot, the more valuable that part is relative to its actual dollar cost. What's a more attractive choice: a $50 part that's 100% likely to go on your robot, or a $100 part that's 50% likely to go on the robot?
Well Nemo, in my experience there's been a 50/50 chance that my robot uses pneumatics in a given year. By that logic, should I never get pneumatic hardware from FIRST Choice?
