I'd like to officially welcome you all to the new team188.com, which I think is chock-full of everything you need to know about our team and FIRST in Canada. Although we launched 90% complete on the Kickoff day as a large number of you have seen (judging by our site logs) I never made a post here to get any criticism. Consider this that post
.
This website was made with XHTML 1.1 and CSS, has two site themes (I plan on making more, including a print and low-capability one), and loads
really quickly. It degrades gracefully in older browsers and uses no presentational markup. It validates and is accessible; more interestingly, it wasn't incredibly hard to do -- it's all common sense -- although some people seem to think it is hard and that the benefits aren't worth it. We'll see.
A few random features:
- A public forum where questions can be answered quickly
- Ask188: A part of the Site Message System, wherein any team can ask us a question or for advice, and we respond ASAP (this is really popular already)
- A Forum-aid browser sidebar compatible with the top three browsers
- Videos and Animations from past years, including our Chairman's Award submission from two years back
- A photo gallery (which I still have to update with a new gallery)
- A large set of FIRST Frenzy-specific resources, including news, team info, conglomerated rules, and a game overview
- A large repository of features and articles
- The official theme song of Woburn Robotics
- Useful documents for other teams, including our own declassified docs binders and timelines
- A brief history of the team
- A page dedicated to our Lego endeavours
- A page dedicated to our sponsors
- A guestbook (sign it!)
- The Brawny Lad
If you are a member of a FIRST team, I encourage you to take a look and give feedback here in this thread. I would like to improve it, but the 'web team' is just me.
