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!

1. It turns out portrait and landscape both work, but I am pretty sure landscape is easier to understand and fits better, so I would opt towards those.
2. Currently a newer photo will replace an older one, but for more robot photos the system links to appropriately tagged photos on CD-Media.
3. This is an excellent idea. I will update the page when I get a chance.
Thanks!
