Great idea, and it's now implemented.

http://frclinks.com/u/4 now links directly to Team Update 4, for example. And if you try to go to an update that doesn't exist yet, it redirects to the updates page.

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Cookie Time - Pat, can you please update frclinks with the new regionals? Also, what the heck is the Queen City Regional code? I tried oh2, cin, qc, qcr, bengalsstink - no dice!

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Queen City is 'ohc'.
I'll try and get the new event codes up soon.

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Can you add old event codes? To access historic results of events that no longer exist (e.g. Great Lakes Regional). I particularly mean adding the codes to your "index" (presumably if one used the old codes, they'd work as-is). Might turn it a bit ugly though, if there's overlap, having to add years..

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Surprised that didn't work.


Possibly MAR events as well Pat?

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Wow, so I remember finding this thread many years ago, but forgot about it. I'm so happy to see that this is still working. Thanks for all your work Pat! This is a fantastic resource!

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Just updated the event codes and added a stupid workaround to make "on" and "on2" work for 2012 (seems like FIRST forgot to hook them up internally or something).

Basel, I'm not sure I want to pollute the info page with old event codes (if there are any; FIRST likes to just repurpose them for new events). Any old codes should just work anyway.

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Perfectly understandable. Since my post, I've realised that the only 3 pre-district events in Michigan (West MI, Detroit, Great Lakes) have retained their codes and, as you said, they work, which is good enough for my purposes.

This is a fantastic resource! Thank you for creating it

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Thanks, Pat. Seriously, when everyone sees Pat next year at an event or wandering around Silicon Valley, give this man a cookie (or a brownie, or some other baked good). He deserves it and then some for all his hard work.

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

I just fixed a bunch of stuff that was broken when the new docs and the new manual website were released. Also added:
Let me know if you see anything else broken, or otherwise have any comments or suggestions.

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Seconded, although I don't think I'd recognize him. Maybe a voucher for a cookie, etc. would be better. He probably wouldn't want a cookie that I'd been carrying around waiting to meet him for the entire event. :) Pat might weigh in with a wishlist? Silicon valley has such a stereotyping rep, that I might have offered something different. :D Or how about a Starbucks coupon?:cool:

Seriously, if frclinks is not on your browser's toolbar, you cannot really call yourself deeply involved with FRC. :cool:

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Might as well come in and say this is my homepage, except when I change to Reddit over the summer. Love this so much. Glad to put a site name to a face; never thought there would be a CD thread on FRCLinks.

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

I'll see him at SVR and CVR, so I'll be sure to give him a cookie from you. And one from myself, though as a fair warning, the one from me will be of better quality. :p

Not to sound like a broken record, but Thanks Pat! I love the site, and makes navigating the FIRST website so much easier!

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

FYI, FIRST has changed the event code structure for 2013 events, so if you're trying to track registration using frclinks.com/r/[event code] and the old familiar codes, it won't work.

The list of new codes is posted on the frclinks.com landing page.

Re: A new way to browse the FIRST website
 

Thanks for the updates, Pat. Can frclinks.com/b redirect to the new FRC blog?
