Jerry Budd Prize?

(If this is a joke from FUN, I missed most of that episode)

It was also on the Behind the Lines epsiode. Jerry Budd (from AndyMark) offered to pay $20 of the shipping charges for the team that submitted the priority list with the most items on it.

I believe Kate Pilotte offered to match him on the FUN episode, but I can't confirm.

Jerry put up $20 towards shipping to the team that put the most items on their list. Kate Pilotte then put up $20 for the team with the most line items on their list. Marshall missed out on both by thaaaaaaaaaaat much.

Jeez! Rub it in! I came up a couple items short on purpose just to prove I could do it. I just didn't want to deprive Jerry of $20.

Now I wish I had watched that episode. I would have gone in and spent more than $20 worth of my manhours to get $20 off shipping by adding every item I could.

Well since we are apparently plugging: Here's where Jerry talks about the $20 and Kate adds on.

Somehow I missed notification about FIRST Choice this year, but from what I'm seeing on the list of things available, I don't think I missed much. Although Green Shaft collars are kind of cool. :-)

Hopefully I won't miss Round 2 and I'll see something worth getting.

We missed round 1 last year. Round 2 turned out to be excellent for us. We ended up receiving our top pick, 2 ADIS16448 IMU's. Now I am not saying you get a boost by missing round 1, it just worked that way for us.

Missing round 1 is not a big issue.

I am pleasantly surprised that we got all of our top priority items.

Hey, you can't get much worse than us last year - we didn't even know priority lists were a thing so we didn't do either round!

So...... How do I find out what we got?

I have not received an email and a check of our AndyMark account shows that all of our credits were used.

Go to my account, click on orders, and details for the latest order.

[MooreteP]

Thank you.

I saw the order, but it was dated 11/15/16.

All better now.

Every item we requested in order.

[billbo911]

Got 5 of our top 6. We only missed on CIM motors. Totally happy with that!

[Lil' Lavery]

We made out with all our top choices. Talon SRX, Power Distribution Board, Voltage Regulator Module, NavX Micro, and NVidia Jetson TX1. Pretty pleased with our haul.
