Re: A Challenge: Let's Gather Robot Info!

Interesting!

I haven't messed around with it too much, but at a glance, some critiques:
  • There is no distinction between the teams that win and lose in the finals in the overview of the team (where it says "Progressed to").
  • There are duplicate event entries on the team page for 2011 games.
  • You are not logged in upon account creation. It's a one time thing, and I'm probably too picky , but it confused and bugged me for a bit.
  • I'm not sure about the intent of the robot pages. I assume the information should be updated from event to event as the robot is developed, so all older information should be overridden.
  • Should there be a distinction between starting configuration and maximum extended dimensions? Maybe separate fields.
  • Units of measurement aren't allowable for the robot specs, only viewable in small font at the bottom of the robot page.
  • I found it strange that videos are the only allowable multimedia. Could pictures be added too?
  • The video URL isn't a hyperlink on the page. For those of us that are lazy...

Overall, I like it a lot! It's really intuitive to use. I'll definitely show it to our scouting team.
