One of our "unofficial" colors are orange. Just because that every robot we have had (orange) flames on have done good in regionals.

As for "hippy" buttons. Those were made in flash and done to match the color scheme of the rest of the site and the team. They are not "hippy-esque" but I guess a lot of people don't like them. I don't know why. I guess people are afraid of change. They're a whole lot better than normal text links.
Same as the header logo (Done in Flash to match the site and colors).

As for Game info on the front page all the time. In a word. Yes.
When people visit the site, we want them to know what our main focus is at a glance. The game is the main focus, along with other things.. but when it all comes down to it, none of the rest of the technical or other aspects of FIRST would exist without the game.

What is not consistent? The only pages that are not truly the same across the board is the gallery, and the forum. The reason for that is because we don't want to implement frames in the design to make the gallery or the forum a separate frame than the nav buttons.
That may change in time though.. I'm not sure.

Also, what broken counter? The one for the Mini-Comp? That's being redone. We just have to actually do it..
Elgin, our official colors are orange and blue, but are the everywhere? No. You NEED to create a aesthetically pleasing color scheme. In the end, a website is a book, while you might like the cover art and the words inside, it's those pictures and content that SELLS the book. Your site doesn't sell your great team. I WANT you guys to win the website award, but I think right now you guys won't win it if you face stiff competition.
