Re: Froggypedia- Feedback on our website?
I'll try to work on the scrolling problems.
I guess I should have explained it better in my first post. Frog Force is well aware of the FIRST Wiki and find it a very good resource to learn FIRST robotics.
However, the key difference with Froggypedia is the kind of phrases and terms we are trying to define. Yes, if you go on the site now you will see many terms that students would be better enriched had they used the FIRST Wiki, but the only reason why those words are there are so Froggypedia can have a large word bank to guide users to the information if that was what they were looking for.
The idea came from a few of our freshmen students who didn’t know what elimination rounds were, or what riveting was. So we built a site where they could ask for specific words or phrases specific to FIRST that could be answered by our senior frogs.
So if a team member would refer to a team being in the FIRST Hall of Fame, there would be a place to figure out what that meant exactly- information that cannot necessarily be found on the FIRSTWiki.
For information that CAN be found on the FIRSTWiki, like a CIM motor, we hoped for definitions that were more personal to the FRC aspect of how to apply a CIM motor for specific uses of the robot and to even give a website (possibly FIRSTWiki) to guide students to learn more about CIM motors to a site better suited to give that information.
Our team members has found the site very helpful in learning about terms that was foreign to them before, but now have a better understanding.
I hope this cleared anything up. Thank you
