If i had skill with making websites, i would do this... but here's my idea and maybe one of you could implement it:

Create an online database with one page for each team. On this page, people can upload pictures of that team's robot and post their opinions of that robot. Also, we could do something similar to the Polls taken on this Chief Delphi website. For instance, people could vote their opinion (good/fair/poor) about certain aspects of the robot, such as speed, grabbing ability, driving, strategizing, ect... We'll see the percentage of who thinks what, this way, when many people pool thier opinions together, it may be easier to gain the truth. Obviously as more competitions occure, more information will be on these websites. Teams may post information about their own robot befor competition, however we may only gain their optimistic opinions of the robot and therefore the website may not be too reliable. But at least you could get initial pictures and component information.

If this could be updated very quickly, I think it's something to go for. Excellent idea. I'm just wondering how it would work to update very quickly. Internet access at all events would be nice.

Also, how does SOAP's rating scale work?
