Well, it looks like the results of this thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=46893) have paid off. FIRST is now the featured article on the Wikipedia technology portal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Technology) page. Good job to everyone who helped spruce up the FIRST Wikipedia page!

Yay! The article looks great too. Now all we need is to finish the JFLL part.

That is pretty sweet! I enjoy updating FIRST wiki information, so it's exciting to see FIRST featured on the original!

Hooray!

First the Technology page, then featured article status, then the main page. I eventually DID update all the old game pages, but I couldn't find pictures for many of them. If ANYONE has any old pictures from games 2002 or earlier that they wouldn't mind being used for wikipedia, email them to artartartartort@hotmail.com and I'll get them up if you don't know how to do it yourself.

We need pictures for:
2000: Co-opertition FIRST
1999: Double Trouble
1998: Ladder Logic
1997: Toroid Terror
1996: Hexagon Havoc
1995: Ramp 'n Roll
1994: Tower Power
1993: Rug Rage (I made a 3d model for this, but obviously an actual picture is better)
1992: Maize Craze

Even if your team just has an old robot from those years lying around, a picture of a robot designed to play the game (preferably against a plain background) would be awesome.

This also probably explains the jump in edits on FIRST-related topics that I'm subscribed to on wikipedia.
