Regardless of this minor snafu, FIRST Choice is still a really good thing. It's definitely something that can be refined as time goes. Probably next year they should give us the log on info a couple of weeks early and then change everybody's credits from 0 to 100 when they want to go live.

At least TIMS didn't explode. That's what I figured would happen at 12:00 EST.

I finally was able to log in after 15 minutes. Loaded my cart, but lost time logging in (oops), and the batteries and Talons I had went away. Got some other great stuff, but was a little disappointed to hear they were back in stock after placing my order. Maybe there will be some hanging around soon after Kickoff!

Too bad, our team payment is not complete (waiting for grant?) so we are not eligible for ordering today.

Happy shopping and good luck to you guys!

I finally got granted access at 12:25

Had to place two separate orders, because the Classmate stock went away then returned.

No real trouble, though the database did have an inorecct zip code for me and rejected my credit card. Took me a frantic moment or two to figure out what was wrong.

Does anyone know how the extra $450 in credit will work if you chose to not take the kitbot?
It may be there somewhere but I missed it..

It wasn't included in the 100 points was it?

There is a PDV voucher number in TIMS, same area that you got your FIRST Choice Password. You have to click a link at the bottom of the checkout page to show the field to enter your "Gift Certificate"

Well drat. Put our order in and I skipped the Talons and classmate because of the reports on here that they weren't in stock. I'd rather have had a spare classmate than another battery, or a couple of Talons, but oh well. For the record, 57 couldn't log in until 12:30 EST.

You should get another voucher code on TIMS according to the KOP website:

Yup. Banebots, AndyMark, IFI, and Inventables PDV codes are in the same right side bar just below the FIRST Choice password.

FIRST Choice, PDVs, VEXpro launch... all I need for the holidays now is a game hint or two!
