Does the website contain interesting non-text
content such as music, sound, animation, or video? |

The goal is to find the virtuous and harmonic ballance between all the different elements. Take for example MOE's site
http://moe365.org/downloads.php
Here are sound files of their cheers, songs, and a download of their animation. They offer them to download opposed to pre-loaded into the site and automatically playing. Same with my team's site...
http://sparky384.com/sparky4.php
As you can see, we have videos on the site, but they are downloadable links, so if a user wants to download the video, they can, but when they visit to see what that year's robot was like, they won't be forced to see it.
Here's some sites to check out, see how they impliment the criteria...
