Re: Changes to the FIRST Website
It looks like FIRST just switched from direct team numbers to an internal database ID to find teams and the like. As far as I can tell, the -section:myarea parameter has no effect on the webpage, with the tpid= parameter being the actual team number.
As long as we could literally do a scrape of the website, and log down which internal ID numbers correspond to which team (for example FIRST's tpid 20863 is Team 228), then frclinks.com and TBA could just use a giant lookup table to redirect requests.
The only plus side is that the aesthetically data on FIRST's website is now better formatted.
