FIRST Objective to the rescue! FIRST Objective is announcing My Team. My Team is an extension of FIRST Objective that will allow each team to have an area where they can post all their data (for their own robot) prior to any regional. My Team also provides places to brag about their team's robot along with the ability to add videos and photos to back up their claims. There is a rating system where your team will be peer reviewed by other teams. A forum can catch discussion about fair and un-fair ratings, along with any other discussions. Please remember Gracious Professionalism! A message system will allow teams to privately interact with other teams. My Team keeps you updated with which teams have made changes to their information, and it also shows you which teams have been viewing your teams profile. There is an advanced search tool, so that teams can find other teams based on any of the scouting data on their profile. On top of that, as individual regional data begins to be posted, there will be a database that allows teams to see what teams have been winning, losing, how big their biggest wins are, and also how badly they've lost. It also shows the alliance partners for their best matches. |
This last bit will be VERY useful, provided you can pull it off. Sifting through that much information can be a lot of work.
As for the idea about a Myspace for robots I like the idea. I'd be happy to participate, but I don't think it will be useful. Any scout worth his salt knows to rate teams by how well they perform, not by how well they say they perform.
