i'd like the site to be a user generated video site, minus archives, like say crowd reactions, or something funny that happened during build.

"the crazy stuff that happens at the hotels, or during build (dodgeball in 04 and 06) are the things that make FIRST a closer community than any other competitive event i have seen before".

EDIT: or you could do the FTC/FLL thing, that doesn't sound too bad... maybe even VRC?

The way that they do that is that they get the rights from FIRST for the waivers and then use them accordingly. The domain name will be up for grabs in the next few months, so if anyone is interested feel free. I have college coming up, and I know I will not have the time to make something amazing like what a high school student has the time to do. So if anyone is interested, just let us know and we can transfer the domain name to your account, or you could just buy it when it expires. Sorry we couldn't do more, but we did try. Kinda sad, but we just ran out of time. Life seams to just fly by these days, wish I could of made something cool, but I have to leave something for the future FIRST students to create. Enjoy everyone, and have fun. Thanks.

Re: The Red Alliance?

you guys could make a record website, winners, chairmans, woodie flowers, that would be kinda cool

Re: The Red Alliance?

I believe that we have found a new home for TRA, we are most likely going to transfer over the domain to the very successful TBA, and let them take over, as we do not have the resources to run such a website at this time. Thanks,

Re: The Red Alliance?

So is TRA going to be pictures or woodie flowers/CA documents or...?

How about all 3? It would be good for a TBA similar site for those too (FIRST isn't just all about FRC)

Re: The Red Alliance?

Awesome! Something should deffinitely be done with this domain. I would really appreciate a better and easier way to view photos from teams and events. It would also be nice to have a different way to view and upload too, because with CD-Media, you can only load one at a time. Another neat thing to do, would be to make theredalliance a place for scouting data and theoretical analysis. I always get a little annoyed as well, when I view a team on the bluealliance and I can't see there current years robot!?!?!:yikes: It would be nice to have a team profile on there (brief), along with a compiled database for teams with scouting information to show and swap!!

Re: The Red Alliance?

The expiration date is today,
http://www.networksolutions.com/whoi...edalliance.net
so does that mean it will now be property of TBA?

Re: The Red Alliance?

Aww :( i didn't even know we owned it until now. I would have tried to make something out of it... Ah well, good luck TBA, may this site be as awesome as your current one!

Re: The Red Alliance?

You can't transfer a domain that is within 7 days of expiring, so if it hasn't been transferred already, it's too late. The best bet is for the current owner to renew the domain name, and then transfer it.

As was demonstrated with firstwiki.net, it can be much more expensive to get a domain name back then to register it or renew it.

There is generally a grace period where the original owner can still renew after it is expired.

Re: The Red Alliance?

That's really cool how you have a lot of 2005 videos on there. Are you able to search team numbers on the site?

Re: The Red Alliance?

Sweet work Vision! Um as far as The Red Alliance is concerned, I believe I have taken over command. Please, feel free to PM any ideas to me.

Re: The Red Alliance?

As owners of the red alliance, we have decided to pass the site to a very dedicated individual. Carpenma will now have control, so if you have any ideas, please let him know. Thanks.

Re: The Red Alliance?

Just like TBA is supposed to be a Scouting Station, maybe TRA could include more detailed info for every robot. This year, we could've submitted the following info to TRA:

Weight:
Drivetrain:
Ball Capacity:
Traction Control (y/n):
Type of Robot (Shooter, Dumper, etc.)
Speed:

That way, when you go to your regional you can simply print out a team's data straight out from TRA and that'll make scouting much easier. Maybe teams can post 2-3 pics of their robot to give everyone a better idea of what it looks like.

Re: The Red Alliance?

That was actually one of the ideas we had on the table. A profile for each robot. A "Facebook of FIRST" if you will to provide a great scouting service.

I think I'll let you guys generate ideas for a little while, then I'll make a poll to see what the community would like most. So, keep them coming!
