Re: First Choice 2013

As someone else mentioned, the password didn't work when I copied and pasted. I had to physically type it in. Go go go.

I was able to get in fine, once I realized that one letter near the end was capitalized and the rest were lowercase.

talons, crio, sensors.

Sitting on the page hitting F5 I was seeing >50 Talons per minute fly off the shelf by 12:10.

Re: First Choice 2013

I'm surprised that cRIOs didn't go out of stock (yet), they seem like one of the better $/credit values on there.

So...... Who wants to take odds on FIRST calling a mulligan on FIRST Choice, cancelling everyone's orders, and trying again next week?

Re: First Choice 2013

This was almost as intense as buying an HP Touchpad during the firesale.

Had 10 Talons and a Classmate in the cart, went to check out, only offered me one Talon, and no Classmate. Went back to add more Talons, it let me, went to check out, zero.

Looks like 20 video cards for me.

Perhaps thats what the RickRoll hint meant.....

Unbelievable prices - the cRio and Right Angle Drill were simply ridiculous. As much as I wanted to I couldn't justify the right angle drill - we already have one and I bet other teams need them more.

I restrained myself and only grabbed one cRIO too. 69 points left just in case game pieces pop up at a reasonable price.

Edit: Are they restocking? I just logged in and refreshed and 410 talons are showing as back in stock...I was able to add 10 to my cart without a problem.

Edit2: There's the FIRST choice I know and love - not getting any response now from the web page... perhaps everyone waited till 12:30 to log in.
