Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

I'm kind of amused at what has sold out already, like a bunch of couplings, that generator extension cord, and that the Talons haven't yet (though at ~46, they aren't far from it).

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

For teams who did the lottery: Which printer order did you pick and why?

We had some trouble deciding on which printer to get, wanted to hear some opinions.

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

Okay, what am I doing wrong?
I ordered several items (2 Talons, some solenoid stuff, and 2 encoders), all within 150 credits. Each time I picked something I got a screen that said "Shopping Cart Empty". When I clicked on the My Account menu link, I saw a link at the top saying "Shopping Cart (7)", but when I clicked that I got back to the "Shopping Cart Empty" page.

I can't seem to get to check-out.

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

Not sure if we made it, or not. Got timed out right after hitting "confirm". I logged back in, but it said that we had 0 credits available. So I don't know if we got what we wanted, or not.

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

Here's what I've found. If you got to the cart and see that it's empty, click "Update Cart" and it shows the correct list of things.

I'm on IE10, FWIW.

Under your account info, there ought to be an orders page; do you have your order listed there?

Don't see an Update Cart button. Will try on Firefox, FWIW. Thanks for the help!

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

Problem Identified: IE10!

When I jumped to FireFox, order went through cleanly.

Thank-you stevep001 for pointing me in that direction (even if you didn't know you did!)

Thanks, we did order the slewing ring, and our shipping was higher then we expected.

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

It worked very well for me. The page loads were about 20 seconds at 3:05PM, but I never saw an error. Haven't received a confirmation email yet, though.

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

So far there are 100 teams in the 3D loto but I had expected more.

Does anyone know how many teams have already used credits at FirstChoice for anything?

I ask as there maybe a large of teams that do not know FirstChoice has opened.

Well, there were 321 orders (not necessarily teams) in the first 15 minutes (https://twitter.com/FRCTeams/status/417388577706635266). Also, 857's order was #1138.

FIRST Choice was painful this year. Thanks for the Firefox suggestion. Hope the season runs smoother.

Re: FRC Blog - FIRST Choice: Take Three!

FIRST Choice went great for us this year . We were able to get some much needed pneumatic parts as well as some Igus slides and CIM motors. For anyone worrying about no order conformation all you have to do is sign into FIRST Choice again and click on my account. From there you can click on orders to see an invoice. Our PDV from AndyMark also worked perfectly this year as well. Many thanks belongs to Andy and the rest of the AM and KOP Staff for making this work out so well.
