View Full Version : Web Competitors 2008
Hello everyone
Thought I might start the thread regarding this years website competition. So I'm guess you guys not the ordeal of this. Just post your site, or ask for a review or critique. Lot of things have happened with web technology over the past year, and we all can't wait to see what everyone else has got under their sleeve. Good luck everyone, and I will see you at the competitions. :D

964 is failing pretty awful right now. But it's better than throwing something together at the last minute like last season. Most of my problems are backend-related, but finding the right CMS was probably the worst culprit. I'm hoping it'll at least be acceptable by January. Anyway, I'll post later when it's all "purtied" up.

Well, I'm currently in the process of reorganizing all of the code (it was written a while ago) and fixing other things...ahh, man, I wish the rest of the web team was a bit more dedicated.

i think the whole enter for your main page is kind of an annoyance, if you could create a redirect page or something it would be nice. I think that the family tree page is really awesome, its a cool idea, as well as the stories page. Other then the main page thing I think the site is great.

The site looks great, but you might want to add a archive page for previous years, other then that it was pretty cool.

Team 694 (stuypulse) is in the process of completely overhauling our site. We expect to have the new one up by the end of winter break.
Our new site will be object oriented behind the scenes, and feature web2.0-ish features up front.

Wow, I'm loving the website. The interaction of the images is cool, especially the pule at the top and in the logo. Nice work.

Our team won the Best Website Award at PNW and Championships in our rookie year (2005, see <http://team1540.org/2005 (http://www.team1540.org/2005)>). Our webmaster dude was too busy managing software the other two years managing the Software department to really update it for the next two years, so we didn't really have much to offer in the following years. This year we have a new dedicated webmaster who has time to actually work on it, and is also quite artistic. Also, we decided to use Drupal, instead of coding it manually.

AdamBots.com (http://adambots.com) is currently the home of Team 245 of Rochester Hills, MI - otherwise known as the AdamBots. We're currently in the process of creating a new theme for both our MediaWiki and phpBB3 forum that has more of a team look.
As far as content updates go, we'll be adding a resource section with AdamBots-Live and AdamBots eMedia sections with various files for FIRST on Linux (AdamBots-Live) and website construction/modification/updating/prettiness (AdamBots eMedia). AdamBots eMedia will include our old theme for download (MediaWiki Skin) after we take it down.
The theme is gonna be released in about a week, or possibly after the Kickoff. I'll post again here when it's up.

Nice site! I noticed you're using Drupal and using Clean URLs. Who's hosting do you use? 1and1.com is not very opensource friendly, but everything else is pretty good. Also, what calendar module are you using?

Nice site! I noticed you're using Drupal and using Clean URLs. Who's hosting do you use? 1and1.com is not very opensource friendly, but everything else is pretty good. Also, what calendar module are you using?
We actually have it hosted by our school, Catlin Gabel (http://catlin.edu). As far as external hosting goes, my personal website is hosted by MediaCatch.org. They offer Linux-based hosting for $47.40 a year, and they even have a thing called Fantastico, which will automatically install and configure many different software packages, including Drupal 5. However, the basic plan limits you to 350Mb of space, meaning that you might have trouble hosting tons of photos without paying for a more expensive plan.
http://team1322.org/ We have changed our adress this year and have been adding content. We do not have an advanced web person so we don't have a fancy display. We have been using Front page because some of use don't know html. We have been trying some tricks so when some one googles us we show up.
Well, my first suggestion is to make sure that the music does not automatically play when you load the front page. Many people, including me, find it pretty annoying to open a bunch of tabs and then have to track down which page is making the noise and figure out how to shut it down.
My second suggestion is to create some separation between the links meant for visitors and the links for internal team use, such as Forms and Forums.
The content is great, the programming intro is nice!
The simple theme with the great logo is also lovely, nice work.
I can't really take credit for any of that, sadly. The Content is mostly recycled from years past, and we are in the process of updating it. The programming intro was created by our CS teacher and robotics mentor, Andrew Merrill. The theme is based on Multiflex-3 (http://www.1234.info/webtemplates/multiflex3/), which our webmaster Devyn has heavily customized for our website.

I have the music turned off on my computer so I don't hear it. A student that set up the entro is now graduated and has not returned our e-mails, we want to edit it and don't have his password. I was going to delete it but We have not figured out how to replace it. I set up a slide show at the same web site but was not able to make it show up on our web site. It is tough finding students that are good with web design or that want to spend time on it. Our students want to just build the robot.

I had to start from scratch this year seeing as the last time our site was even touched was in 2003 i believe....it had annoying music and was entirely flash-based...
Only problem this year is my work looks like it was done by some kid in his basement, which it was, but still, I'm having trouble seeing how everyone else is coming up with such professional looking stuff.
Still working on content(took our mentor forever to give me the login data for our web host...)

Some teams just have really experienced programmers, and others (like us) use a Content Management System. Examples are Wordpress (when configured properly), Drupal (ours), Joomla!, PHP-Nuke, and a whole lot more. You can give most of them a run at opensourcecms.com. I can't help you with organic web building, though. I tried, I 'faild'. ;)
http://www.bedfordrobotics.org No content at all. Waiting to switch hosts.
http://www.bedfordrobotics.org/forum Not much here either.

Our team's site. It's only in beta stage, there are problems (it isn't centered, the awards page and the right bar) and most of the content isn't up yet but here it is.
Out site is a bit different because it was done all by hand, without drupal or any other CMS, we thought it would be an interesting experiment.

Most teams don't use a CMS. We had to use one because no one on our team have any coding skills, so it helps out a lot, easy to delegate the sub-team heads control over their content. I've seen pretty good sites that are, in most ways, better looking and organized than one made by Drupal or Joomla.
On a side note, I just found out that we've got someone this year who CAN do web design, so I'm looking forward to that.

The intent and use of the video is irrelevant. It is still copyrighted material being redistributed (I assume) without the permission of the copyright holder. Intent only matters if it affects FIRST's decision to sue or not, and, if they do, for how much.

Okay, it'd be nice if FIRST could clear their copyrighting up a little. I've seen plenty of teams with the FIRST graphics (banners, game logos, all that) on their site. How's the video different from the FIRST logo?

Because FIRST has specific rules that you can look up about logo usage (unmodified, must contain the "FIRST" letters below the logo, and on a white background). I believe everything else is restricted.

Frontpage is a terrible program for this kind of stuff, great for beginners I guess. There's a lot of junk in your code and just doesn't look organized. The design however is cool, just don't use an uncommon font like Impact, you'll run into trouble with computers that don't have that font (computers running mac or linux).

Google "CSS drop down menus" and you'll get a plethora of hits; just pick a few of the articles, read them, and make a sweet menu.

Typography doesn't match very well. The grunge font used on the navigation isn't the best choice. Look into something like Myriad maybe.

*Note, I realize that I don't have much room to talk since my design needs much work, but they asked for feedback. If this sounds mean I apologies*
Sorry, but your design comes off as dated. I would recommends against using frames as they are unneeded, and hamper functionality. For instance if someone wanted to send a link to someone about your site, unless they know to view source they could not link directly to the content. It also requires more unneeded scrolling.
Using an image instead of a <h1> for the title increases load time, and IIRC search engines like the <h1> for titles.
This is hypocritical, but if passable you should have an email address at your domain it looks much better than a gmail.com
Lastly why is Rack and Roll on the drop down after history instead of in history?
I've been working hard on our site this year... hope everyone likes it http://aztechs157.org/

Because FIRST has specific rules that you can look up about logo usage (unmodified, must contain the "FIRST" letters below the logo, and on a white background). I believe everything else is restricted.
I just got an email from FIRST, and they say you can use any of their animations as long as you just say "Animation Courtesey FIRST" at the bottom. I will forward this email to anyone who wants it.

We are in the process of content updates, but it's mostly there code wise.
The photo gallery is a mix of coda-slider (http://www.ndoherty.com/demos/coda-slider/1.1.1/#1) and Lightbox 2. (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/) (Although I may switch it over to phatfusion's lightbox (http://www.phatfusion.net/lightbox/), which is a little more intuitive.)
The video gallery is from the export flash function in Adobe Encore CS3. (It's a little broken at the moment, and nothing recent is there yet)
The whole site is powered by Smarty (http://www.smarty.net/) except for the phpBB3 forum. (Nothing special there, stock theme)
To do:
- Content Updates
- Post documentation from last two years
- Make videos available for download (I am hesitant about this one - copyright issues with songs?)
- Get updated videos
We have several other sections that run on our site as well. We use phpXplorer on several subdomains to provide an interface to access the photo archive and robot code archive.
http://images.dulaneyrobotics.com/system/index.php - accesses our 4500+ photo archive (gotta fix a slight linking issue though, downloading pics work, Open URL does not)
We also host/design www.battleobaltimore.com and www.firstbaa.com (both out of date)
Critique + criticism welcome! This is all student designed, so the code/css may not be up to par with W3C standards, but it works on most browsers :) (Except on dulaneyrobotics.com, the top left PNG with the lion head logo and 4 buttons, it appears darker in IE7 - anyone know why?)

Another one of my pet peeves, and that's forum navigation. I love what a lot of teams are doing with their forums, whichever software they decide to use. But please Please PLEASE edit the header file to include (at the very least) a link back to the main site. If you need help with that I'd be more than willing to show you how.

Upon further investigation of your code I noticed that you use a .png picture and code in the links at certain places. Brilliant, but that's the downfall. Now I don't know exact why, haven't really tried to find out, but IE apparently doesn't have good PNG support. So even though you probably used the same colors in the editor for the header pattern and the navigation logo, it doesn't match up right. FF is fine, as expected. Somebody who really knows IE's PNG flaw please explain it to me.
Microsoft obviously fail'd at making a super compatible browser. Something that works in EVERY other browser could suck in Internet Explorer, sad part is most people use it.

Looks good, but you should resize your images in the gallery to make thumbnails. Loading the full images in the page is a big hit on bandwidth and it's much lower quality than resizing the images in a program. (Resizing images in browsers = weird artifacts)
Your code would look like this:
<a href="images/gallery/8/DSC00571.JPG" target="_new"><img src="images/gallery/8/DSC00571-thumbnail.JPG" width="150">
But please Please PLEASE edit the header file to include (at the very

RyanCesiel
28-01-2008, 20:59
It's difficult to explain, but yes, IE does interpret colors differently than other browsers. In your case, I'm not quite sure why that is showing up lighter/darker. Are you sure you don't have a slight transparency effect on either of the images?
Blad3101
28-01-2008, 22:01
I'd try to create the image with transparency (No background pattern overlaying the second) to see if it makes a difference, the image itself in IE looks different when loaded separately.
You may find your answers about .PNG file issues and Internet Explorer here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/pngopacity/
Also, a nice program/website I found lets you install IE3, IE4.01, IE5, IE5.5, and IE6 all at once. It can help anyone out who would have browser conflicts in their code like I had... http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE

I agree! I don't mean to put you down, because the overall design is fantastic, and there's a lot of good information, but any sort of pre-made template, or banner advertising is just... disgusting.
By the way, did anyone else think that this year's website rubric is much easier than last season's? I mean, there's no mention of browser compatability, accessibility, or interactivity anywhere! Not that I'm complaining, but more difficult criteria makes for more interesting competition, doesn't it?

I would think that, regardless, you would want your website to have cross-platform/browser compatibility because you really don't know what the judges are using to view it.

I am the only member of the website team. My only help extends to a few teachers and volunteers, and they aren't always helpful.
I need people to tell me what our website needs, what it already has that is good, and any other suggestions. If you have a recommendation, like adding a script of some sort, it is requested, but not required, that you provide a code or a link to learn this.

Is that a <marquee> tag where "newsworthy" items go?? You might want to replace that with Javascript or something because the <marquee> tag is not W3C standard
I redid the portions of our site that used Lightbox to use Shadowbox (http://mjijackson.com/shadowbox/) instead. It is by far the most flexible script like this, and allows for almost anything to be put in a lightbox.
In addition, it can resize images (in the browser) to fit any screen. I decided to redo our medium size images with 1024x768 images, which look great now. :D
I also redid the videos so that Shadowbox loads a 640x480 iframe with the video player inside. This is activated by clicking the Videos link in Site Links, and then pops up on any page.

Team 375: The Robotic Plague Website is just about finished.
http://www.team375.com
The site was made using ASP (Active Server Pages), so it is very dynamic. If you look at the source code for the main page, you'll see that it's about 500 lines of code. Since that is a lot of code to debug, the actually server side code is only 50 lines long, and uses server-side includes to be easily manageable. The Members, Alumni, Mentors, and Subteams pages all retrieve information from a database, so they can be easily updated.

Looks good, but the FIRST logo on the right should be in color, and all your images should be resized in an image editor before uploading them to the site. It both saves bandwidth and looks better. There is an excellent free editor called Paint.NET that few people use, and it resembles Photoshop fairly well in both features and interface.
If you are using transparent GIF files, you should manually edit out all white pixels, or just leave the background as white. (Like the Port Authority sponsor logo or the FIRST Overdrive graphic.) Alternatively you could use blending modes in Photoshop to seamlessly put the background in, but since you have a fixed background this wouldn't work. (I did this on http://www.firstbaa.com/ specifically: http://www.firstbaa.com/components/template/spon-side-henry.png)
Hope this helps.
Edit: Okay I took the shadows out of the Overdrive graphic using the EPS file, and then rendered it to a transparent PNG. http://test.dulaneyrobotics.com/Overdrive%20-%20No%20Shadows.png (http://test.dulaneyrobotics.com/Overdrive%20-%20No%20Shadows.png) Just resize, and save to GIF or PNG. (PNG is by far a better choice, even though IE6 does not support transparency)

The site was made using ASP (Active Server Pages), so it is very dynamic. If you look at the source code for the main page, you'll see that it's about 500 lines of code. Since that is a lot of code to debug, the actually server side code is only 50 lines long, and uses server-side includes to be easily manageable. The Members, Alumni, Mentors, and Subteams pages all retrieve information from a database, so they can be easily updated.
The sidebar looks like the one from slashdot.org :D

Looking at the page source, it's meant to be:
/***********************************************
* Slashdot Menu script- By DimX
* Submitted to Dynamic Drive DHTML code library: http://www.dynamicdrive.com
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code

Thanks for all the help zim! About the FIRST logo, i didnt take out the colors. if you look here, you'll see that FIRST gives u a few options on which logo to use. I have Photoshop CS3, and Paint.NET also, but i just couldnt take out all the little white dots. It's too annoying. I'm just going to settle on a white background, I guess. Thanks for the overdrive logo, I'll try to work something out. And yes, it is the Slashdot menu, as you both pointed out.:D BTW, where did u get the EPS? I've been looking all over for it, but couldnt find it anywhere! I'm also working on a login system for the site, where team members will be a ble to login, and edit the information that shows up on the members page.

Heh, it's right here: http://www.usfirst.org/community/resourcecenter.aspx?id=650
The EPS for the FIRST logo is there too. To remove the shadow for the Overdrive graphic though I loaded it up in Illustrator CS3 and had to go change the layer options for each letter... twice. Bleh.

Looks good, nice clean design. Shy away from using YouTube as a video host if you can... it is blocked in many high schools, making some of your resources unavailable.

I don't know if you meant to do this or its just a typo but the "s" in the About Us menu is capitalized. Just proofreading :p

I like it. Very nice, clean cut, easy navigation. The only caveat is that the text on the bottom, in the footer, is a little hard to read it, maybe you could make it a little lighter? Also, do you have a members page?

In the process of migrating everything to that main site. But its about 90% done and ready to go.
It is time to kick it into OVERDRIVE. Team 1158 would like to share their website with you. Comments appreciated.

I like the menus and the FIRST page. Pretty nice. Also, have you ever been confused with your team number and team name?:p

no because 2207 is the 329th prime number hence PRIME 329, we're not just odd... we're prime. But ya we didn't think about it until after we had submited the team nickname

I would make the team name and motto smaller in photoshop (or whatever graphics program you use) rather than shrinking it with HTML. I would also recommend anti-aliasing the text on the team name and motto so it doesn't look so sharp and sorta pixelated.
The content is pretty good for your second year.

MORT's website has been reworked and has a new face since previous years. It is still being worked on and more things will be added. And yes...the redirecting takes a long time. I'm seeing if someone can make it black and yellow since those are our team colors. A calender is coming soon and the media will be organized this week. I'm told that I will have access to thousands of pictures soon. Oh boy!
