FRC Blog - Get Ready to Make FIRST Choices

[Jon Stratis]

Ours came in at 12:30 est, got just about everything from the top of our list, other than the Talon SRX, but I figured we would probably miss that one. Just need our AndyMark voucher for the KoP opt out now so we can get our season orders started!

First Choice lottery favored the Tators! Only missed one of our top choices: 1 PDP; 1 PCM; 1 VRM; 1 Victor SP; 0 Talon SRX and 2 Victor 888....

[AllenGregoryIV]

They are still sending out confirmations, ours came in at 1:13PM EST.

Didn't miss on anything.

[Donut]

Just got our confirmation about 30 minutes ago. All of our top 5 items came through, 1 battery, the crimp tool, 4 victor 888s, 1 PG71 w/encoder, 2 cylinders, and 2 couplings. We figured the odds of winning the lottery on getting the PDP, VRM, and Pneumatics module were low so we didn't list them in the hopes of better odds elsewhere, looks like it worked!

[Taylor]

1 12v battery
1 pneumatic control module
1 pdp
1 voltage regulator module
1 ratcheting wrench set
2 battery connectors
1 compressor
1 15-ft Ethernet cable

[Kellen Hill]

We did well in receiving the following:

1 PDP
1 VRM
1 PCM
4 Victor 888s

Only missed on the battery. Pretty pleased with the results.

Robokong is pretty happy with our FC results

[bigbeezy]

just received ours at 12:40 Central

1 PDP
1 Compressor
1 PCM
1 VRM
2 Motor and Harness
3 Air Tanks (wanted 4)

missed on the Talon SRX and Battery. I'll take it.

Yay! 2781 got a TON of great things, including a PDP! Woohoo for saving $200!

RoboPride wants to express our sincerest gratitude to AndyMark for facilitating FIRSTchoice again and to all the generous donors.

We never did receive a confirmation a couple days ago.

Today, however, at 12:17pm EST, we received our "order confirmation." Looks like we prioritized our choices correctly. We received our top 8 requests, with no missed items at all!

1 - Talon SRX (fc16-064) - qty 1
2 - Freelin-Wade Transparent Blue Tubing (fc16- 042) - qty 2
3 - Digital Multimeter & DVD 2538790 (fc16-038) - qty 1
4 - Power Distribution Panel (fc16-023) - qty 1
5 - Pneumatic Control Module (fc16-022) - qty 1
6 - Green Ring Light (fc16-099) - qty 2
7 - Parker Fitting Kit (fc16-104) - qty 1
8 - Battery Connector from Anderson Power Products (fc16-008) - qty 1

Is there a way we can check it in TIMS or on the website? We haven't received an email and I want to make sure we didn't forget anything.

I missed the two motors with encoders we received. It's exactly 600 credits of stuff.

[Mykey]

We just received confirmation and it is a wonderful help for this rookie team.

It can't be said enough: Thank you AndyMark!

If you have your firstchoice log in password, you can check there. If you look on the my credits page, it will show the number of credits used & an order number. I don't see a way of actually looking at the order with the link from the email.

[Sperkowsky]

We got a compressor, 4 air tanks, a livecam, a pdb, 2 green ring lights, a ratcheting wrench set, and the drylin linear guide system.
Only missed the srx which we weren't expecting and a proximity sensor.

Pretty happy with everything
