Re: At a regional? Submit robot photos!
Thank you so much to The Blue Alliance for hosting such a great scouting resource! Hopefully many people will contribute to the system by adding photos. I do, however, have a few questions/comments:

1. By horizontally oriented, does this mean that the image has to be landscape-style, or just oriented for normal viewing? It's not clear, especially since there are some portrait-style robot photos on TBA currently.

2. How do your scripts handle multiple photo submissions for one team? Does a new image replace an older one, or will it be displayed in addition to any earlier images?

3. I would suggest linking to the photo-upload instructions from your team information pages, on the sidebar perhaps. When I was browsing your site I wanted to submit a photo for my team and wondered how, but checking the About and Contact Us pages offered no guidance. I didn't think to look in the blog and only stumbled upon this thread by coincidence.

That said, it is a wonderful system and I look forward to making great use of it during this season!
