Perfect! Yes, a little bit slow, but reasonable and (yay!) 100% success.

15 minutes start to finish.

Thanks AndyMark and FIRST and all mentors for our patience and perseverance.

Now, about that game hint…….

And where's the encrypted manual?

Team 4301 is done and the site ran smoothly, if a bit slow.

Our order:

Again, congratulations, Andymark, on a job well done!

Out in about 15 minutes, latency was unnerving, but in the end, it all worked.

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

I hope everything worked for us, didn't get an order confirmation. It just hung up on the submit order page, but when I clicked submit it told me my cart was empty. Our credits went away, so I hope it worked!

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

Woop! Got everything on our high priority list (2x talons, compressor, Festo kit).

Obviously, great work Andy and team on getting your issues resolved well enough to process orders.

One note, I had a few issues trying to enter the country/state combination for billing. It would keep trying to jump around on the list, display the wrong list for the choice, etc. I would imagine that if the selection of a country was resulting in a server call for information, the number of users could cause this to behave erratically. This was on a Chrome browser by the way.

Perhaps for next go around, this could be an area to optimize? It took ~3 minutes before I could get "United States - Texas" entered, and I was pretty worried about timing out the shopping cart.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Andy

System worked great today - thank you for setting the bar for grace under pressure - really appreciate you and your team's work. We are looking forward to building with the cRio, pneumatics solenoids, and the transmissions - the flexibility of FIRST Choice is really great!

Thank you,

Mark

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

I gotta admit a little stress as I watched the countdown clock ticking down below 5 minutes on the final checkout pages, as I stepped through the steps and it didn't refresh when I submitted responses. All in all looks like the available variety and quantities this year made for a pretty good spread. We went for another cRio and a 9403 module, and 2 van door motors (love that motor, wasn't sure how easy they would be to find outside of FIRST choice).

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

I have 5 credits available, but when I try to add something for 5 credits, it tells me not enough credits to add parts...did anyone else have this problem?

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

Took about 17 minutes to get 7 items and check out, but I got (almost) everything I wanted, and finished the order successfully.

The one glitch I noticed was on the generator power cable. Although it said it cost "0" credits, I got the red bar telling me I did not have enough credits. I played with removing and adding things back, and it appeared to me that the generator cable actually costs "1" credit in the coding/database behind the scenes, but everything displayed to the user is "0" credit. The total in the shopping cart displayed to the user reflects a cost of "0" credits on that item, but the behind-the-scenes running total seems to indicate it actually costs more.

I noticed the cost of this item fluctuate between "0" and "1" credit several times over the last couple weeks, which I thought was odd.

Overall, a good shopping experience. Much improved over last year. Thank you AndyMark.

I'm really looking forward to the paper detailing what went wrong on the first two rounds, and what the fix was.
