List of website award winners

[chrisspurgeon]

Hi all...

I would love to take a look at some of the best website award winners from last year's regionals. Is there any sort of consolidated list on the FIRST website? I should couldn't find one.

Thanks in advance.

A good one to look at is www.boilerinvasion.org because it's won 2 world website awards in various incarnations.

Well, Team 1124 won Best Website at the Connecticut Regional last year. Some people evidently thought it was pretty good... http://uberbots.org

EDIT: I see Mark just topped me... well, I guess my post still stands

Does FRC still do website awards?

Does FRC still do website awards?
Not for the last couple of years. There IS a media award, but it's much more expansive than just website. And it's only presented at the Championship.

Might want to check the Admin Manual (https://firstfrc.blob.core.windows.net/frc2016manuals/AdminManual/FRC-2016-admin-manual-06.pdf). Section 6.7, to be exact.

Holy ancient thread revival, Batman!

I still miss the website award.

I wish FIRST would bring it back along with CAD and animation, maybe in a different capacity similar to how VEX does their online challenges program.

I feel that this is a good idea on paper, not so much in practice. Web design is a huge part of this award (as far as I know), and with the advent of services like WordPress and SquareSpace, creating a really good looking website is not difficult at all. So then the award is based on content, which is not a bad thing at all, but might be difficult to judge depending on the pool of teams at an event. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to reinstating the Website Award, but at the same time I don't think it's necessary.

More than just robots is an important mantra for students.
Website, Animation, and CAD were important non-robot design steps for young teams.

Most of the non-robot awards (Chairman's, EI, Safety) are beyond reach for new teams. Therefore, most new teams don't bother to apply for non-robot awards.

Hand out the non-robot Design awards at State Championship. Awards can be judged well in advanced of the event to reduce judges workload.
