Student on team #25, Raider Robotix, from North Brunswick Township High School and Bristol Myers-Squib.
After reading some of the messages posted about team databases and how many there are, I decided to take the initiative to organize these efforts. Since team databases are for the good of all the teams in the FIRST competition having many databases and opinions of other robots is a good thing to have. We do not *need* a set of standards as some people suggested, but a place where all teams to go to get *different* opinions of the same robot.
To get to the point, I started a webpage today with a table of all the different database sites in the competition.
I strongly recommend that you submit your site to this collection of links (If this is as useful as I think it's going to be, you should get more people accessing your database here than ever before).
The sites will be in numerical order by team number to ensure that there is no discrimination of someone’s site being higher on the list than another’s.
Right now the only site listed is my team’s (team 25), but I hope this will grow quickly.
If you would like to register your site in this list reply to this message with your team name and number and the link to your database web site. Or you can contact me at
robotix@onebox.com.
Hope it helps!
