What did you end up getting for FIRST Choice Round 1?

FIRST General Forum
1

I’ll start. We ended up getting the following (530 credits spent)

FC Round 1 Receiving List
  • 2 Spark Maxes
  • 4 REV 40A breakers
  • 1 Radio
  • 1 Microsoft Lifecam
  • 1 $20 voucher protopasta
  • 2 black duct tape
  • 1 red duct tape
  • 1 blue duct tape
  • 1 Kettering whiteboard
  • 1 bump on pack
  • 1 command strip pack

Compared to our 4079 FIRST Choice Round 1 Request List (42.4 KB), we didn’t get the items we really hoped for (We unironically wanted those TTB hex spacers!!!). This post isn’t to call out vendors or anything (REV and TTB donated so much product for FC this year tysm :heart:). I was just curious as to what other teams got vs what they asked for on their list.

NEOs and SparkMAX motor controllers must have been top choice by all of us! Also, we missed out on all the HEX spacers.

We got -
2 - NEO550s
4 - 40A Breaker Packs
2 - Pneumatic Double Valve Solenoid
1 - Network 5-port Switch
1 - Robot Radio
1 - Pressure Gauge
1 - USB A to B cable
1 - Vinyl Electrical Tape, (4) Red, (4) Blue, (4) Black
1 - Duct Tape, (1) Black, (1) Red, (1) Yellow

Overall okay with this outcome.

1x PCM
1x Radio
4x 40A Rev Breakers
1x $20 3D Print Voucher
5x Rolls of Duct Tape

We missed out on alot of stuff we wanted but at least we have a ton of creds for round 2

2x NEO
1x Radio
4x 40A breaker
1x Color Sensor
2x Limit Switch
1x Snow Blower Motor
1x Radial Wheel size 2
1x Radial Wheel size 3

Didn’t get a lot of stuff we would have preferred. I wonder if FIRST uses the priority lists to help “right-size” the KOP and FIRST Choice the following year? I’m sure there would be some great indications in there of what teams really want!
