Re: FIRST Website

The new site is beautiful, dynamic, and does a much better job of explaining what FIRST is to an "outsider".

However, I must say the old site was FAR more functional for anyone currently involved in the program. I am, at the moment, trying to put together a presentation for new rookie teams, and I was trying to use last years rule book to do so. However, none of the links to anything work (as the old directories are completely gone), and I cannot find links to any kind of archives anywhere. I've managed to find *some* useful stuff (like past kickoff presentations), but even those were buried in counterintuitive places.

I can understand why they felt the need to replace the site - this does a much better job of explaining and spreading the first message. However, there was a lot of useful content in place for older teams on the old site, and now it doesn't seem to me that it was necessary to vanish it all with the appearance of this new site.

I'll get used to it, I suppose..

EDIT:

7) An intuitively organized archive of previous games that can be used for research and reference.
