I got on real briefly, but it loaded an older version of the page. I'm not sure how that worked out. It didn't show the new FIRST competition documents. When I reloaded though, it failed. :eek:

I thought it was strange that both FIRST's website and my team's website went down at the same time. I know why my team's site is down, but I can't fix it at the moment however, maybe too many people were trying to download the manuals or something.

your browser or ISP was loading a cached version of the page, is all. when it tried to update it, it couldn't get a fresh version so it didn't connect. Also, I'm having troubles as well.

Hmmm, strange... on the Team Updates (http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2005/tmup.htm) page, the words "cowab cowab" appear above the logo. What could this be?

I think the problom was that to many people were accessing it all at once.

I need to know the dimensions cause i am building them right now, but the site going down has slowed me down

The small ones are 30 inches to the side and the large ones are 72 inches. This is the length of the PVC so add a bit for the end caps and the clovers.
