Also, how does SOAP's rating scale work?
BINGO!!! That's exactly what i'm doing on www.feds201.com! There is a team list of all the teams with a member registered to the site. Right now, one member from each team can post basic team info in a special page that you can access right from the team list. There is also a 'links' section to take advantage of other peoples web space where people can link pics to. Then there is a 'Team forum'. This is a special forum, once again accessible from the team list, where any info can be posted about that team. Info can be posted by 'Guests' so that people don't need to register to put in their $.02 If you do register though, they your team forum will have a link on the main page to go to your own team forum.

Also, in the Team profile section, where it says Fantasy Robotics, that will be replaced with a section where people will be able to vote on what that team's bot can do. (Ex: Last year some of the fields would have been: Goals, Balls, Traction, ...) They will be in 'poll' format so that an easy avg. can be taken. I only have one problem. I know, that it is annoying to many (including myself) to have to register for every different site to input data. But... if i don't make people register to vote, then people will be able to vote 100's of times for one team. So... if i could have some input on that, it would be great!

Finally, We will try to have a common rating scale. Maybe give examples of what is 1 is, what a 5 is, what a 10 is. Don't really know, but i do know that one of the biggest probs of sharing data is that people rate things differently. SO... trying to establish a 'standard' will be something i'll try for.
