Go to Post When was the last time you heard of someone on their death bed talking about a great movie they saw? I think it far more likely to hear of their accomplishments, something they did to make things better. Well that's what FIRST is all about. - DougHogg [more]

FIRST Choice - What to get?

Hi all,

I am the lead mentor for our team...I am going through first choice right now, and was wondering what items you think will go fast? Also, what would you recommend for rookie teams? i.e. I am not sure if we will use pneumatics yet, but the pneumatic tubing might be useful since we didn't have any in our kit.

Is it better to go after sensors and motors? Or gears, sprockets, lazy susans, etc. I feel like this is so hard without a design in mind. Are the normally expensive parts the ones most worth getting on first choice?

I feel like we should wait until we have a design, but I'm afraid the "good stuff" will go quick.

What is everyone planning on picking up in 20min?
