Official list of a team's event and award history?

[ajsetter]

Hello all,

A while ago, I remember stumbling upon a portion of the FIRST website that had a dedicated page for each team with a list of the the events attended and what awards were won listed by year. I haven't been able to find this page again and I suspect it either moved or has been deleted. Is anyone aware of where I could find this information? I would prefer an official listing from FIRST, but I'm curious to see anything. I apologize if this information is trivial, but everyone I've talked to and places I've searched have turned up nothing. Thanks for your help!

FRClinks.com is great for this. Go to frclinks.com/t/3021 (frclinks.com/t/3021)for official information about my team, or frclinks.com/t/1741 for yours. Lots of other features in FRCLinks as well.

To find this information: I went to the FIRST main page, clicked on "what's going on in my area", selected teams from Indiana, and clicked on 1741.
If there's an easier way to find team info, I'd be happy to hear about it.

edit: frclinks appears to be that easier way. I still wish usfirst.org would make it easier though. If we send prospective sponsors to usfirst.org, there is no way they'd be able to find team info on their own - or our team or others.

FRClinks.com is exactly what I remembered seeing before. Thanks a bunch for the info andreboos! This helps quite a bit.


PS-I agree with you Taylor, I wish FIRST would make this information easier to access.

In usfrist.com, simply click on the team number in the list of teams attending an event, it will take you to the team's history.

That'll do it too. But it takes more clicks from the front page.

There's gotta be a better way.

Would it be at all useful to create a thread investigating ways to improve/streamline the www.usfirst.org website? I remember lots of grumbling about it, but I don't recall any solution-mongering.

Not if you bookmark the events page. :)

But you're right...FIRST needs a web page reorg. Maybe they should hire all of the teams that won regional web site awards?

There are a number of inaccuracies and omissions on the FIRST page for teams, as well.
