: But why would you need a description of the database? They're all pretty much the same. If I did start asking teams that question, the answer would just be something to try to attract users and put down other sites. Just like what happened on this forum when teams started advertising their databases.

From the little bit of looking that I have done about the databases, each one seems to have a slightly different focus. For example, some of the databases seem to be just a listing of capabilities reported by each team. The SOAP database seems to be geared more towards how a certain robot did in each of its matches. Other databases are based on capabilites that were observed at the competition. The description also gives a chance for the teams without a web based component to post their description and an e-mail address to contact if you want to join.

IMHO there is an insane number of robot databases and scouting systems. The description gives each team a chance to differentiate themselves from the rest.
