I checked the Lego Education site and Pitsco and both have the Tetrix base kit out of stock. So where do we buy one? I have the Mindstorm NXT sets.
Parts can be purchased through First Choice.
FIRST Choice has a limited supply of FTC kits. I expect they will be gone by tomorrow night if not sooner. AndyMark doesn’t sell FTC/Tetrix kits, so where would we buy them if we aren’t able to request them via FIRST Choice before they run out?
Already gone, just checked.
Really? :eek:
I thought it opened for requests tomorrow morning/later tonight!

It does. All parts currently show as Out of Stock because it isn’t available yet.
There were some glitches at first, but FIRST Choice has 500+ FTC Kits in stock, according to Andy from AndyMark:
Lets see, over 2000 teams, 500 kits available, and at what cost?
The only cost is shipping.
Actually he adjusted to 1400 earlier this morning - there are lot available - 1265 left per their website as of 11:45 AM 1/10/11.
Be proactive - order now.
Please see http://www.andymark.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=245 for instructions on how to login to FIRST choice.
Thanks was about to ask about that. How quick is the conformation email? Because i keep hearing they have 500 in stock, now 1200+, so either way, our team would like to order as soon as possible.
Seems like even after the dozens of emails and blog posts and links on the FRC homepage, and even mentioning it quite a few times in the kickoff video, many teams still don’t know about FIRST Choice…
Got mine in 10 minutes or so when I ordered early this morning.
Does it matter? Order now; ask questions later!
