[TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

The Blue Alliance has set up an e-mail address for teams to submit photos of their 2008 robots. By building a complete set of robot photos, The Blue Alliance hopes to make pre-scouting for regionals much easier and more efficient for teams. This feature debuted for the Indiana Robotics Invitational last year, and you can see how easy it is to scout teams by viewing the 2007 IRI page on The Blue Alliance.

To submit a photo of your team or another team's 2008 robot, send an email to photos+2008@thebluealliance.net. Attach a horizontally oriented photo of your robot named ###.jpg where ### is your team's number. For instance, if you are team 5462, attach "5462.jpg", and if you are team 1, attached "1.jpg". Automated scripts handle downloading and processing the attachmenets, so it is important you stick to this convention!

Don't forget to take a photo of your robot in the big rush to ship! Send it to photos+2008@thebluealliance.net and help scouts see just how great of a machine you've built!

Just bumping this to remind people as ship approaches! :)

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

We'll send you a photo once we finish everything up.

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

Now that the build is officially over, start posting!

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

Could you set up a web-based uploader as well? I'm sure that you would get more pictures submitted that way. (If you wanted to be extra slick, allow pasting of CD-Media URLs)

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

2106's is sent! let me know if i did it right.

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

If anyone wants to code up an uploader in PHP, I'll be glad to host it. I am too busy to do so myself right now. :)

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

Ok this is my last bump. Hopefully we'll get another influx of photos once the week one regionals start :)

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

How long until we can expect these to actually show up on the site?

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

They are now up. You can see robot photos on event teamlists, team pages, or this gallery page:

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

Very slick system you have going there. I always think it can't be improved, and then you go and make it better! The gallery for all the robots is a good idea, though you may want to change how it arranges them if possible. Right now it places the pictures in alphabetical order, rather than by team number.

Still, very cool!

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

How long does it take for the pictures to be put up from the time they are sent?

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

We sent our pics this morning and in 3 hours it was posted.
This is an excellent idea. Keep this post alive!:yikes:

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

ill keep it alive:D i sent ours about an hour ago... i hope i did it right:rolleyes:

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

Photos are added manually. We'll post the photos every couple days.

Once regionals start up, help compile photos of all the robots at your event to make scouting as easy as possible! :)

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

I sent a photo of our robot 8 days ago and it still isn't up. Should I re-send it?

Re: [TBA] Submit Robot Photos
 

I just re-uploaded the submitted photos.
