Re: Web Competitors 2008
can you forward one of those to me at knightriders397@gmail.com
Thank you |
Re: Web Competitors 2008
Team 2348 (Rookie) has finally launched its site and will eagerly be awaiting any feedback.
http://www2.k12.hi.us/~robotics/ROBOTICS/HOMEPAGE.html Thanks! |
Re: Web Competitors 2008
The pictures for the navigation links are missing. Other than that, I like it so far, haven't gone exploring it yet. I'm assuming someone drew the robots and the comic? If so, give them my kudos! Awesome work there.

Re: Web Competitors 2008
www.dulaneyrobotics.com
We are in the process of content updates, but it's mostly there code wise. The photo gallery is a mix of coda-slider and Lightbox 2. (Although I may switch it over to phatfusion's 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 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downloading pics work, Open URL does not) We also host/design www.battleobaltimore.com and www.firstbaa.com (both out of date) Critique + criticism welcome!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?) |

Re: Web Competitors 2008
I believe that IE 5.5+ has a *.png transparency issue (something with the way that it resolves alpha), but I'm not positive that's your error. :confused:

Re: Web Competitors 2008
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?
|
Re: Web Competitors 2008
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.

Re: Web Competitors 2008
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 zim2411, have you tried to take a screenshot of how your site should look (Firefox maybe?) and then crop out a new image with the background intact? |
Re: Web Competitors 2008

Re: Web Competitors 2008
Well, its not a bad site with the exception of it being under construction, but bravenet free web-hosting and any ads are a major negative in FIRST's eyes. :eek:

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? |

Re: Web Competitors 2008
(Man, I hope I haven't posted in here already...)
http://www.lakeviewlegends.us/ It's powered by WordPress, Simple Machines Forums, and a bit of homespun PHP, and it looks nice. Ours isn't exactly as professional-looking as some of the other sites on here, but we've only been working on it for a few weeks now, with only two novice web programmers, and after completely scrapping our old server and starting fresh. I think it looks quite good so far, if a bit unfinished. Check it out. :cool: |

i always thought about getting a shoutbox but I never thought about how it would work or be used necessarily.
otherwise i think the Lakeview Legends website is great. It just looks a bit empty. check mine out. http://www.gwestrobotics.com/ & http://www.ladypirates2681.com/ <-- this one is a bit empty too |

good advice. and you're definately right about the code borrowing. as long as you give the right people the right props and what-not then it should be good
i did the shoutbox; i dont know how great it looks, but it lookse fine for my first one i guess. theres always room for improvement.. |
Re: Web Competitors 2008
Umm... I would like greatly appreciate any help that people can give me. I am self taught on my limited coding knowledge (HTML and minor PHP) and have almost no help for the site this year. 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. Here are our websites: (Old): www.vailhs.net/robotics/index.html (New): www.vailhs.net/robotics/trial/index.php |
Re: Web Competitors 2008
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
|
Re: Web Competitors 2008
I redid the portions of our site that used Lightbox to use 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. http://www.dulaneyrobotics.com/index.php?pid=gall and check out the Videos link on the left |
Re: Web Competitors 2008
I know this topic is about showing off team website's, and I understand that not every team has one.
So if your team doesn't have a website, Team 1675 is here to save the day. We are willing to donate web space to any teams that are without a home on the web. I didn't know how popular this would be so I don't know how many sites we can provide web space for. So if your team needs one PLEASE contact me or send me a PM. But when im here, Check out UPS SECRET LAIR |

Our site has launched, (www.fairportfirst.com) email comments or a bug report to team578@gmail.com or make an account and post them in our forum. We won the website award in 06 at boston and website excellence in 07, but our main webmaster graduated so we started from scratch this year.

Re: Web Competitors 2008
I really like the flash header you guys have, it makes the site somewhat interactive. It also made me wait until the entire movie finished because of the fades.
I also think its concise. Don't know if thats good or bad... Is there a link to FIRST on your site anywhere? |

Re: Web Competitors 2008
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. |

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/t...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 Just resize, and save to GIF or PNG. (PNG is by far a better choice, even though IE6 does not support transparency) |

Re: Web Competitors 2008
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.

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. |

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?

Re: Web Competitors 2008
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. [SARCASM] Oh boy! [/SARCASM]
