The FIRST Choice Value Coefficient

[Nemo]

In addition to the dollar value, I see two other important considerations to look at:

1) Some parts are not available to purchase outside of FIRST Choice. I didn't see anything that I thought would end up being like last year's 290W Fisher Price motors, but that's the type of item that would be on top of my list if I was smart enough to identify it.

2) The more likely it is that a part will go on the robot, the more valuable that part is relative to its actual dollar cost. What's a more attractive choice: a $50 part that's 100% likely to go on your robot, or a $100 part that's 50% likely to go on the robot?
