New FIRST website
 

FIRST has a new website layout. It looks excellent.

Too bad there's no BOM yet :(

Edit: Look at the Championship Event page. Four divisions again this year, or is it out of date info?

that looks sweet!! they have a lot more info and it's easier to find info. i like i like!!!:D :D


someone needs to set us up the BOM

Little bit like a Crayola ad, but the color scheme works really well in distinguishing areas. Plus, all content loads really fast (even on a 56K), and the content is easily accessible. Lovely job, just a little of a shock to find out.

Who's the team on the index page? My guess is Beatty (vaguely remembering the tshirt design), but if someone could figure it out that'd be one less thing off my mind ;)

Hey! Look at that! A new website...no wonder it was down when I tried to get there before. By the looks of it, we're going to have 4 divisions at Nationals again (Archimedes, Newton, Galileo, and Curie), at least that's what's under the Championship Event. Well, I think it looks pretty spiffy anyway.

I am just happy about the change....so very happy.
[Edit: I changed my mind when I saw who created the site...]

The team on the front page is the Chairman's award winner, 22 from chatsworth high, which you can vaguely make out on the robot on the left. If you had been to their various off season competitions or the LA regional, you would have also recognized their mechanical Homer on the right.

Cool.....
 

FIRST and AutoDesk really made a cool website......i really really hated trying to browse around the other one........now its really easy and "clean"....

:) :D

grrrrrrrr
 

I can't stand the new one.
All of the old compitition links, results, and general info are gone.
I was doing research about 4 hours ago on teams and came back to it an hour ago and found there was nothing for me to do.
In my team i am the self proclaimed researcher of other teams. I am annoyed i was unable to finish it.

Ah. I'm glad to see the page layout has been reworked. It has been needing it for a long time. Much, much better! :) The only problem is... now... I can't blame the site if I can't find somthing!

Re: grrrrrrrr
 

i'm sure FIRST archived all that stuff. try asking them for some stuff.

I love the new site. Much cleaner, faster, and better organized. I think it really makes a better online presence for FIRST now. The folks at Autodesk (check out the info at the bottom) that designed it did a fabulous job. Hopefully the dead links won't come back like the old page now!

Apparently there is a team from Great Britain this year. I just can't find it...

It's team #759. It was started by a college student formerly of Team 97, I believe.

Wow, they actually state the mission of FIRST now... helpful information, useful information... It's amazing. :D

Yeah.. well... mine (#639) was too, but i'm sure none of you know him.

That new layout is great! I can find things now.
