Legacy Score

Legacy Score is a ValueFIRST service designed to estimate the overall desirability of merchandise associated with a particular team among traders. It is calculated automatically for every team using multiple datasets intended to model the factors that influence how desirable a team’s merchandise tends to be as a whole, rather than evaluating any specific item.

Legacy Score is currently exclusive to the ValueFIRST Discord Bot and is not available on the ValueFIRST website or through any other ValueFIRST service.

You can view a team’s Legacy Score in the ValueFIRST Discord Server by running "/value query team" and entering the team’s number or name in the command’s team field.

ValueFIRST Website Launch

The ValueFIRST website is officially live, bringing item information, user collections, marketplace listings, contributor rankings, and legal documents together in one place.

Website:
https://valuefirstindex.com

Estimated Market Values

Supported items now display estimated market values based on information in the ValueFIRST database. These estimates provide a useful reference when buying, selling, or trading FRC merchandise.

Marketplace Listings

Users can create marketplace listings for merchandise they want to sell or trade. This makes available items easier for other members of the community to discover.

Contribution Leaderboards

Separate leaderboards recognize the top image submitters and general database contributors.

The first place image submitter receives a gold profile glow, second place receives a silver profile glow, and third place receives a bronze profile glow. Each of these three users can also pin one of their own marketplace listings.

Standardized Spreadsheets

User collections are displayed through standardized ValueFIRST spreadsheets, keeping item names and information consistent throughout the website.

The spreadsheet directory is ordered according to each user’s image and general submission totals. A search feature also allows visitors to look across spreadsheets for specific items.

When an item on your spreadsheet already has photos in the ValueFIRST database, those images are automatically displayed with the item on your profile.

Submit Item Information

To add an item to your spreadsheet, submit its information through the Submit Item Information page:

The process is designed to be quick, and images are not required. Including photos is recommended, however, since they improve the database and help other users identify the item.

Legal Documents

ValueFIRST’s legal documents are now available directly on the website, providing a central location for the policies and terms that apply when using the platform.
