Re: Validity of a Website Award

I do hope something happens, and offering benefits like that could really encourage more teams to work on their websites. One of the most frustrating things in FRC is finding teams' websites, or social media pages, or just a way to contact them.

I think if FIRST is going to promote that it is about "more than robots" then it needs to have awards covering more areas outside of robots. We have Entrepreneurship & Imagery, but I think "media" is a big gap that needs to be filled. I think many teams want to and are showing off their progress on social media and their website anyways. It comes back to making FIRST loud!
