So if you are like us and missed out but would still like to show off all the hard work you and your team did to create your website be sure to sign up for this contest. DON'T miss out this may be your last chance at glory! The winner of this competition will receive the rights to display this totally awesome mini award banner on their team's website if they so choose...  YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT!!! ***Please note this contest is not supported by FIRST and is a contest held and operated by a FIRST Robotics team. So please understand winning this contest, although will entitle you to massive bragging rights, will not be recognized by FIRST in the actual website award submission.*** |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
Hey there,
To submit on your website, I would have to register on your forums, something that I don't want to do (there is such thing as too many internet accounts :ahh: ). However, if posting submissions here counts as entering, I'm in. Alex Montero Team 2115 (SuburBots) http://suburbots2115.wordpress.com/ Thanks for doing this! :D |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
Yea sorry in order to keep our forums safe and secure and PG13 we don't open it to the general public. You will have to sign up on our forums to post on our contest. It helps to cut down on outside spam as well.
Our contest and the submissions that are submitted have nothing to do with the actual FIRST Robotics Website Award. You should still sign up cause its going to be epic! :yikes: Alex: In order to answer your question, yes we will be taking submissions made on chiefdelphi.com. Just be sure to check back at our forums to see the other teams that have submitted and to scope out the competition. So you guys are in and great job on the site we are glad to have you all as a part of this competition! |

Alex to answer your question, Yes we will be taking submissions made on ChiefDelphi.com. Just be sure to check back on our forums to see which other teams have submitted their sites.

Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
Who would be dumb enough to screw up "am" and "pm" for two months straight when...
...oh, right, us. www.team1551.org |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...

Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
Three B+L teams, if rumor proves true...
Not good. Not good at all! |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
We can win competitions, bring home Chairman Awards but we can get the difference between AM & PM! LOL, No worries Team 340 your exempt from that statement. :D

We had it submitted, but didn't have everything done we wanted to though. We missed Woodie Flowers and Dean's List submissions though. Competition sounds like an awesome idea. |

But... Life doesn't have a rewind button, so we're re-focusing on winning FLR again! |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who was involved in the mix up of AM and PM :/
Team 2950 The Devastators http://www.hsawaco.org/FRCTeam/home.html We need to add a few things and tweak some pages but we'll be ready before the deadline :) Thanks so much for giving us this opportunity! |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
Looks like there will be some great competition, welcome. I am glad we can still have some fun with this and get some appreciation for those sites that wont get seen!

I felt bad for the students who worked on Woodie Flowers and the mentor it's for. They deserve recognition, and they don't get any because we didn't notice the time change. I feel bad for the students for Dean's List too. since it's there last year on the team and now they have no chance of recognition outside of the team either. |

We did manage to ge our stuff in on time. Looks like you will just have to win the regional! |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
I believe that the deadline was poorly announced. It was pointed out in the awards forum. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...light=deadline
I believe that waiting until the last twelve hours to submit is a bad idea. The website URL can be entered at anytime, they don't lock the website to the version that is available when you click the button. The Chairman's Award and Woodie Flowers are very important and it would be sad to miss out because of high traffic at deadline, whether noon or midnight. Those are best submitted at least a day before. |

That said - Hey Iron Lancers! I think this is a great idea and I love your award banner! We got our website submitted on time, but I look forward to hearing the announcement of your website winner (is that then the biggest loser?)! |

Indeed, the word NOON shows up in bold at least once, and everything is clearly and consistently marked AM. We're just dumber than we think we are sometimes. |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
Thank you all for your support and your comments regarding this issue. FIRST in no way was getting blamed for this mistake. I think every one just got caught up in the actual building of the robot, the creating of the website and all the work and effort that it takes to participate in these major awards that minor details such as the time was over looked. Not so minor of a mistake however! LOL
Hope to see more great websites coming through to this competition. So if you missed the deadline don't miss out on your chance to shine. There are still a great deal of people that would still very much like to see your sites and all the hard work you all put into them. So keep submitting! :yikes:And yes some times the biggest losers make the biggest winners!!! |

Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
If students were supposed to submit stuff, how are the going to do it at school? I understand getting it in early but we all aren't perfect.
Thankfully one of our students was able to get it in. |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
I questioned that as well. I guess the idea was to get it in at least the night before and if possible days before. But like you said not every is perfect...
|
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
We should have been done a week previous... A learning experience, to be sure!
|
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
We missed it too! Bad communication through the team.
But on the bright side, we'd love to join your contest! Our website is team223.com Can't wait to see how everythign turns out! |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
I'm pretty sure my team just didn't care, this is our first year having an actual website.

Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
Really unfortunate. I personally dont think it was sufficiently announced, but I am just being bitter. We should have submitted a day early anyways. Thats what we get for submitting last minute.
But our contest should be fun. Any more people interested in submitting then post in here! |

Team 1710 missed the deadline too this year. Great way to end senior year =), at least they now have a great basis for next year. |
Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
Well at least you got into the better of the 2 competitions lol. Good luck and thanks for joining!

Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...
