First Choice 2013

It seems people were have a problem with logging in, but did anyone have an issue with a very high shipping fee? The system tried to charge me $2,968.93 US for shipping to Duluth, MN.

Mine hung up trying to calculate shipping, and since it showed zero dollars it didn't ask for payment info. I ended up submitting it and emailing them to use my credit card on file.

I was once told that Duluth only has departing flights this time of year.

I hope this got resolved!!

Managed to get 11 Talons.

Well, 3476 was able to get on at 12:02 after I realized that you have to manually type in the password. We scored: 1 cRIO, 2 GTX 560s, 2 Classmates (to drive robots at our demos), 2 Axis Cameras, 2 Talons, multimeter, 2 solenoid valves, and a broken ribbon cable. A pretty good haul! Worth about $1,750, and we used up all of our credits. I kinda wish I got the angle drill though.

I think it's great that AndyMark does this year after year! Thank you!

Sorry to all the teams that couldn't get in.

My credits aren't adding up right.
Anyone else notice a discrepancy?

We show more credits than we're entitled to.
It seems to be due to the two orders I placed. The second order isn't being debited from the credits used, while the third order is credited properly.

Be careful with your subsequent orders, the credits may be invalid.

We might be having a similar issue. But in our case it looks like credits were charged but items (Talons) were not successfully ordered.

I'm sure the folks at AndyMark will get it straightened out, and hopefully we will be able to get the items we would like.

[IndySam]

All done.
8 Talons
2 Pneumatic valves
Video Card
and some pneumatic fittings.

Overall very happy boy here at The Digital Goats.

AndyMark was very helpful and everything is fine now.

On the other note, if this city gets anything less than 20 inches of snow in a day we still have school... We got 8 inches yesterday, my street is not plowed, and the kids (and myself) are in school. <sarcasm> In Cali, however, I have heard if the sky even drops a trace of snow the world stops... </sarcasm>

Are we locked out right now? The page says they are having problems and there's no box for the password.

I see the same thing. I'm guessing it has something to do with the restocking since they explicitly said before that items wouldn't reappear once they were out of stock.

First bullet on login page: http://www.andymark.com/FIRST-Choice-s/273.htm

"We are currently having issues, please email firstchoice@andymark.com, all orders are suspended for the time being."

We were one of the 3-digit teams that couldn't login right away. I finally got in about 12:10, and placed two orders. The changing stock numbers prevented me from getting Talons (they appeared to be back in stock after my orders were done).

I'm also having an issue with credit counting. I ordered 84 credits worth, and the system shows I have 2 credits left. I sent an email, and Jerry Budd is already looking into it. They must be crazy busy, so I'm grateful for any attention we get.

I have a bad feeling about this. It took what seemed like forever to get the password to work. Then I filled up my cart, got most of what I wanted, when to checkout and it booted me out. Restart chrome, bring up last session, 3 min's later, nothing. Start again, get the stuff I want (mostly) go to cart and now everything is doubled. Fix it, and the batteries disappear, out of stock, but the Talons showed back up? Took what I could get and didn't use all my credits. Figure a few extra for after kickoff couldn't hurt. I feel like we may be doing this all over again in a week.

We've been told that all of the items that appeared to be re-stocked weren't actually re-stocked. It seems their system began doing things that were not intended. If you placed an order for these 're-stocked' items, I would expect it to be null.
