That explains why we didn’t get any skystones. I told my team we should have prioritized them higher than 4th, but they wanted that teflon tape.

Well at least you don’t have to worry about anything sticking to a teflon fort.

160 Skystones! Plus some other stuff (tools, tape, hook & loop, foam rollers). We missed out on every color of Hex Collar, as usual. All things considered, pretty pleased with the list.

Glad to see I wasn’t the only one with this line of thinking. Definitely the best value on FC this year. Despite having 3440 credits worth of goods on the list, we still finished with 570 credits remaining. I guess we have good taste in product selection. Didn’t get a single hex shaft collar, but we did get the Flex Tape. Very surprised that’s not gone yet.

Here is what we got. Donating most of it to the elementary school. They can use them as prizes for their STEM night.

I love how long your priority list is 
Even after throwing filler items in after credits are used up, we still don’t go much beyond 20 before we quit
If next year’s FC is as “steller” as this year, I’m gunna have to see how long a can make it

Got smart and put my purple hex shaft collars first - got 20 of 'em! And a lot of tape, velcro, tools, and two of those nice tool bags - they’ll be good for travel, in the dim and distant future. Plus a couple of sensors, I have no idea whether they’ll be useful but maybe?
Should have put the pneumatic solenoid higher, I make this mistake every year.

In case anyone is curious, it looks like a minimum of 1432 teams used FIRST Choice (if every team used all of their credits, which we know isn’t true). I’ve got a primary sort of percentage of items taken then a secondary sort of # of items taken

I ordered nothing for our team. Still no way to touch our robot…so I guess we don’t need any parts for it…

We got all of the things we wanted, except for air tanks and victors.
What we got:
- ADI IMU MXP board (we had one, but this makes two)
- 2x ADI Gyro board
- 2x Victor SPX (I’m astounded these lasted that deep)
- 4x Vulcan Spring packet
- 4x Air Tanks (caution: now entering “sorta listed for the memes” territory)
- 1x Flex Tape
- 1x WAGO Tool
- 1x USB Cable
- 6x various FLL sets
- 4x Johnson Electric aluminum hex shafts (which if you’d like them, hit my DMs and they’re yours)
- 20x foam gripper kit
- 1x Dual Lock
…and somehow we have 85 credits left. I’m astounded.
We did get some legos and analog range finders for prototyping and Romi goodness, but we also got a bunch of amazing stuff for the real deal when we can get to it (actually the analog ultrasonics are also for the real deal; you have to love dual purpose:). The only things that did not come our way that we wanted were the air tank, the victors, lever nuts, gearboxes, and shaft collars. Still I feel we got a sizeable bounty. Because it is coming all at once, it feels like a lot more than previous years. Maybe we are just learning to pick better 
Do the hex shaft collars usually disappear this fast? I put together our priority list last year and am almost certain most colors were still available after round 1, so I didn’t worry about ranking them super high this year.
At least we got both a Rio and a radio.
