I too liked your opening in flash, and agree that it needs to be quicker; you should also give a "skip opening" as an option. I know I rarely choose flash sites because they take too long to open. I like the revolving FIRST logo, I hope that you can make it meet the standard, because that is really cool. I really liked the sponsors forming the links across the top of the page as it moved across. Maybe you can add their links and the link to the sponsor page on them as well.

Overall I would say you need to add more graphics to give it kick. But you will need to watch the size to keep the page loading time down.

I did spend some time on the sponsor pages (which opened dreadfully slow in HTML) On the flash site I found that there were a few of the logos without links, but acted like a link was there (Delta Gas and the red and white shield logo) Speaking of the red and white shield logo, you need to add a company name to it since it isn't incorporated in the logo. And the Trinity Products had a bad link, I think it is a typo on your end. I hope you will add similar links on the HTML site.

On the home page in flash, I could not get the link to your HS or to USFIRST.org to work. On the HTML page, the USFIRST.org link was ok, and it looked like you hadn't tried to add a link to your HS yet.

I can't wait to go back and see more of the content once it has been added! Great start and good luck!
