As Brandon Martus keeps reminding us, chiefdelphi isn't entering the competition. So that clears up one problem.
But no one understands what in all of patatootie the judges want out of our websites. They didn't clarify. And we can't seem to agree on what's student run, and what isn't.

But the simple fact is that not one person out here has built a computer from scratch, then an operating system, then a text editor, then a programming language viewable by conventional web browsers, and THEN made their own site, hosted off a completely new international system of networks comprising a virtual seperate Internet and convinced everyone else to tap into it as well.

Very good point. Since this is the first year they've had a website competition, I guess it's only fair to expect a few kinks in the competition. But trust me, this is one major kink? I've read the entire thread, and I've only come up with this one useless solution:
Just enter your website, and hope it qualifies for whatever they were hoping for.
And in FIRST, where it's all about math and science--not guess-and-check--it's a really stupid plan. I know that. But maybe next year the website problem will be sorted out a bit better and we won't have to sit here scratching our nogins. I know my nogins starting to hurt from all the scratching.
