Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

I don't know if it's something that you've written in, or if your host/CMS does it automatically, but I can't view your site because it blocks you if you try to access it using IE, like I unfortunately am right now (the school doesn't let us use Firefox or Chrome). If you're submitting it for the award, you might want to try and lift that.

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

http://www.ghafirstrobotics.org/ <--- We did a LOT of work on the site over the past few days.

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

Either they fixed it since you've posted that, or it's not blocking IE. I can view it just fine in IE8 and IE7 (along with their respective compatibility modes). It's possible your school is blocking it? That happened to us one year. We couldn't view our own site, because for some odd reason the school's firewall/security software blocked it. Possibly since we were on shared hosting, and the IP we used might've been within a range of prohibited addresses.

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

Yea, we were having some problems with getting it to work with IE but they should be solved now. IE 8 is recommended but I think 7 kinda works. Albeit, it is a little slow when I tried it on IE so we recommend different browsers.

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

We submitted, but we still have a ton of work left to do. This was coded from scratch in about two weeks and has a fully optimized Google back end. We'll put up an information page about the site soon to show how it all works through Google apps. If anyone has suggestions, feel free.

Right now it can't be viewed in IE. Works best in Chrome or FF.

Team 2438 is happy to present our website http://koa.iolani.honolulu.hi.us/robotics/web10/#
Technically, the team is happy, but our webmaster still thinks that there are many things to fix. I personally really like the website and think it is quite artistic, but if there are any suggestions, I'd be happy to pass them on to the webmaster.

Final revisions made now. We will update throughout competition season as we participate in events and do more outreach, etc.

Good Luck everyone.

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

Ooh! I love all the nice websites this year!

This year we tried Joomla (since coding by Notepad++ last year was just ridiculous!)

Enjoy!

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

The site looks great.
I would suggest updating your videos and photos with 2010 content.

We use an online photo gallery (picasa, flickr) that's easier to update than gallery2. We use picasa , here's a tutorial for developing a php script to integrate those photos

The DiscoBots are back in 2010 with new students and a whole new design.

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

In order for this thread to become more effective, it needs to become more like those "comment on the person above you" threads where the next poster comments on the content of their predecessors. Surely, with all these web developers on this site, we'd be able to get more feedback and discussion then there currently is in this thread...

You have a nice clean site; well organized, structured and definitely easy on the eyes. I like how your banner and navigation bar take less than 110px of vertical space on your site. One thing that could be improved would be how your gallery bunches up some of your pictures, particularly this page, where there are three rows of pictures stacked right upon each other. Would it be possible to set the height of the cells to serve as a buffer between the rows? Also the "Future Aspirations" in your members page is spelled as a single word (intentionally?).

The site itself is simple while containing all your content which many teams can not manage. I don't know if this was intentionally done, but your FIRST page has some issues with your "FIRST's Leagues" logos at the bottom where the html is stretching the image greater than the image actually is. It also seems that your navigation bar is disproportionally smaller than the rest of your site.

And finally, I can't leave end without promoting my own team's website: http://www.mckinleyrobotics.org/2010/index.php

Constructive criticism is neither unwanted or shied from and would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

I agree completely , I will do my best to add some more constructive feedback for other teams to improve.

I'll forward these details onto our web design team. They are furiously working on submitting for the VEX website design challenge !

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

AdamBots.com

We used the same basic design from last year but changed things up with the navigation and header. We also added a homepage image display (team picture changes between three pictures) and added a sidebar video popup.

It should work in all browsers except IE6 and 7. I plan on fixing it for IE7 but this will be the first version that I leave IE6 behind with just an update message for those viewing the site with IE6.

Let me know if you guys have any suggestions/feedback!

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

Yup, we'll get to it, but not right now - we don't usually plaster tons of information about our current season until after our first event (Dallas Regional this year).

Very nice, very clean, very informative. No wonder you won in '08!

Re: Web Competitors 2010
 

Team 461 is proud of its website which recently took home the Website Award from both the Boilermaker Regional and the Buckeye Regional. This is at least the third year in a row in which the layout/theme was completely redone while preserving most legacy content.

Team 2137
 

Team 2137 has created a new website, though lots of content is missing, the main idea of the site is well portrayed!

http://www.team2137.org/

We took GUS Robotics' website as an inspiration on what we wanted and what we wanted different.

Take a look and tell us what you think!
