Re: The Blue Alliance dotcom
 
I'm not a fan of the homepage, but overall I like the layout much more then the old one. It seems...sleeker in a way. If more could be done with the homepage, then I think it would be perfect!

EDIT:
http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/9999

Is this a bug, or are you using this for testing? It showed up on the bottom of the teams list, and anything else (such as http://www.thebluealliance.com/team/9993 ) gives me an error

EDIT AGAIN:

Wait, was there really a team 9999 at one point?!?!

Any suggestions for the home page? I think we'll put "This week's events" there soon.

I don't know about Team 9999! I've never looked for them before, but it sure looks like we have match data that suggests that they competed. I wonder how this strange artifact came into our system?

Greg, There was a 2010 rookie team that competed at the first GRITS off-season event before they were assigned an official team number. They played Lunacy with a robot kindly loaned to them from 1746, Forsyth Alliance. I assumed the event coordinators assigned them 9999 in the field management system.

Most "streaming" videos are MP4, but not all of them. What video were you trying to watch?

This shows the slight overlap of the years. (It's not even really an overlap, the text is just really close to the line above it.)





Here's the video I was trying to watch, I didn't try any others.





Sorry for the giant pictures.

It shows up fine at home, where I use Firefox.

I get the same nearly-blank screen when I use IE at work. (Rattin' smattin' IE...)

Please make a different color background lol. white is just too...bright and it makes it look like there is less on the page.

I like the white, it looks cleaner, almost google-ish

As for what to put on the homepage, I'm not sure, I was just stating that it looks a bit bland

Any word if that "Contact team" button will be used in the new version? (as in emails, phone numbers, whatever)

Greg, are the video files missing overall on the new site? I have clicked on many locations where there are videos on .net and nothing is showing on the .com?

I have found that if there is a video for that match, if you just click the match, a new screen opens with the match info, plus a placeholder for the video (or at least a screen capture from the video?), but at the bottom a link to "download the video" which, at least on my iPad, launches the video in a separate screen. I tried this with 2009 matches, which I knew had videos for those matches. Don't know if this is universal or not, but at least in Safari, on the iPad, the "film" icon is not there, but there are still videos associated with the match.

After I posted I did find some matches at some regionals that did have files if I clicked the "download video". There are many however which do not have the videos they should have. I have to remind myself it is still in testing and bug phase so I'm not too worried about it, and all the files are still in multiple locations.

Can you report specific matches that are missing videos?

Yea those are all supposed to fit on one line. Maybe we need to move the "previous years" section into the "Information" block so it can overflow more gracefully.

I can, search 1592 and go to 2007 and we are missing all of our Florida regional matches and videos.

Definitely an import problem with Florida 2007, I agree. That data error seems to exist on dotnet too. Any pointers to correct data?

What match on dotnet has video for Florida that dotcom doesn't?

dodar 04-02-2011 22:54

Re: The Blue Alliance dotcom
 
Looking back at .net now we are missing 3 videos from Florida and 3 videos from Newton that we had before .com was launched.
