FIRST Choice Items

[Wayne C.]

Its 12:30 HERE IN NJ I have been on the Andymark homepage since 11:52 and have been repeatedly tried to get into the First Choice page. It is now 12: 30

You tell me how this is either beneficial or fair to my team? We registered and paid for a kit like everyone else. Our team needs a new netbook -the only thing on the list vital to our operations. So either I sit here for god knows how long constantly trying to access this $@#$@#$@#$@# site or I cough up the cash to buy one because I am sure the big ticket items of the kit will disappear like a flash as they did last year.

So my suggestion for future "virtual kit of parts"
1. no more limited number items- if there aren't enough parts for all the teams to get one then don't offer them
2. avoid this stupid race to be first stuff. It never works- never has

I really appreciate how Andymark has made this resource available to the teams. Letting teams develop kits for their needs is the way to go. But this annual race is awful. With all the great minds in FIRST there needs to be someone with a better idea.

Its 12:43 now . Im quitting Definitely not happy.
