Re: [FRC Blog] FIRST Choice 2017

We got 23 of the top 24 items on the priority list that was used.
Unfortunately, the list wasn't exactly in the order I thought it was. The only one which likely had impact was the NavX being moved from #3 to #14.
I didn't know why I had put the compressor on the list. I couldn't possibly have foreseen that we would break one last night. (The arm of an pre-season robot rammed into the "christmas tree" on the compressor, breaking off the threads which secure the check valve.) Well, the replacement is already on the way!
The bent and broken rods on a couple of Bimba cylinders re-used from our Aerial Assist robot probably won't be replaced.

Edit: And yes, a signal light - last thing that we got!
