RoboBlue Warriors: updated and looking good.
 

For the past...oh 2 weeks I guess, I have been working to complete our teams website.

We are competing in the Canadian Regionals so competition is minimal.

I could have done a better job on the design I admit but its the content thats KEY.

Our site includes a real cool FIRST Canadian Regional TRIVIA. It also has cool downloads for the FIRST competition including a few screen savers...interactive backgrounds. I also took the time to go around our team and gather a LOT more info to pump the site up with amazing stuff.

All the scripting has a moderator backend to allow teacher mods and team members to easily add news or change anything. It even has a very useful page logging system ;) ;) IP log + host lookup + page log.

Took me a while but ALAS its complete. The site is developed in PHP+ASP and has a mySQL backend. There is some Flash too (I couldn't resist the temptation of placing a SWF within :-))

Well enough of my rambling heres the site:

St. Michael's College ROBOBLUE WARRIORS Website

Anyways enjoy :-)

I like it a lot. Very nice. I'm sure you put a ton of time into is, but it really is shown.:cool:

(PS: I voted awesom in the poll;) )

Very well done.

[I voted awesome too.]

Thanks.

Too bad you arn't in the Canadian Regional. We need votes!!

I didn't really spend that much time on it. A few updates here and there. I actually do PHP+ASP+mySQL programming on the side so I had these components already developed, just needed to change them to implement. That took me a while.

I would add more Flash but I got lazy :yikes:

Oh well I need some more thoughts about the site.

Thanks,

Dave

The only thing i was wondering about was if you can just give away Robot Wars like that. I know i bought the game a year ago. You may want to check copywright issues.

Don't... There are people that have too much flash and it ruins your site. The amount of flash you have is perfect. :D

I'm slowly running out of idea's for new updates. I was thinking of making a new game to add, but then it wouldn't look professional any more.

I was going to add a web ring for other robotics websites, but its has been done already and I would have to develop a new script.

Oh well. I just hope that its good enough to win our competition.

I am almost positive that those companies won't care. Who would make a fuss over something that minuscule. Plus we are giving them free advertisment to a large 14+ age group, Im sure they wont care ;) ;)

Thanks again guys, keep suggestions comin!

lol.

Just as I finished posting that an idea came to my mind. Does anyone want to start a FIRST Robotics website advertisment exchange service? Like you give me ad space, I give you ad space etc.

Just an idea, wondering who would be interested.

I honestly don't think anyone would want a banner exchange program. Many of them are space users, non-helpful.

Hey that's really nice, man!
Keep it up!
I voted awesome.

One thing is this:
If you want to be really competitive in the website design award, you might want to guy a domain name just so it seems more professional. www.stargateinc.com sold me all my domains for 7.95 a year. You can do it cheaply, it looks more professional, and, most importantly, tons more people will type "www.roboblue.com" than "www.stmichaelscollege.ca/robotics" just because it's quicker and easier to remember.
It's not a necessity, and I'll bet you're going to be the winner, but it would look nice.

Thanks. About the domain. I personally would like to have a domain, but the school wants to make the robotics website look apart of the school (an intergrated team) and have visitors come to the main site also.

I will run it by the administration one more time, but they are very very picky.

Anyways thanks guys :-)

Great job! The Flash intro is slick looking, and the layout of the site is nice.

awesome.

all i have and can say.

Thanks guys. I have had over 1000 hits this past week. I log all IPs and host IP lookups so I can keep track of abusers.

Some guy tried voting 200 times on my polling system. What a nut! Any suggestions guys?

nice job on the animation and on the website...
