Re: FRCTop25.com Going Live Soon! Get Involved.

Do you plan on supporting an API or an iframe. This is the sort of thing I would like to embed within the scouting pit.

Also after having the social network on loop, I had an idea that may be more appropriate for you to implement than me. Do a facemash sort of thing but for the robots. my thought was to edit team numbers from photos and to put two robots up against each other.

This would help to eliminate preconceptions and natural biases people have to power teams from past years.

Then again you use the college sports example, which actually encourages these biases.

A similar thing could be done with match videos, where you have to select one team from the 6.

One thing I have noticed flipping through the photos that many young teams have very well designed robots this year. There is no reason they shouldn't be able to rise to the top 25 simply because they don't have "FIRST fame"

Also, I believe the 3rd year rule may increase the likelihood of +3 year teams being voted for.
