Also I don't like that they added a map on the team information page. Since you can't add more then just your city in TIMS it's just silly and useless information. The map portion it shows for Houston for our team is unbelievably small and to my knowledge may contain zero high schools that actually have an FRC team. To make it worse it's not even a picture of our zip code which is listed right next to the map.

I like the move to FLL Jr. and the mobile website but otherwise I don't think this really improves anything all that much.
It is sort of bizarre that an opportunity was missed to potentially create a tree of useful urls for use

http://firstinspires.org/programs/frc/about would take you to a basics page for FRC
http://firstinspires.org/programs/frc/game would take you to a page about the game and manual links
http://firstinspires.org/programs/frc/blog self explanatory
http://firstinspires.org/programs/frc/events would take you to the events page.

Eh, it's alright. I'm curious to see when the switch is going to get pulled to push all of the STIMS/TIMS/VIMs information into the new dashboard. You can log into it (at least with my TIMS account) but you effectively get nothing for it.
