Re: Thoughts on new US FIRST splash page?
I'm lazy and didn't read through the entire 7+ pages of this thread, but here's my take on the new splash page.

I think it could be done a bit better, but it gets the job done. I think it has to do something with the Super Bowl possibly? Maybe FIRST is expecting a mass influx of users to their site, as Akamai is known for internet content hosting.

The video is... meh. Random scenes with will.i.am's quotes being repeated over and over on top of cheesy music...

The "See robots in action" could have been linked to something else other than a PDF, though.
