Imagine if there was an iphone and android app to allow teams to enter data about there robot -- "just got our hanger working" "drivetrain whacked" etc. I am thinking about some sort of Twitter/Facebook/Hot or Not/Google analytics mash up that would let teams track the various players on the chess board.

It would be a huge effort, but FIRST IS ALREADY a huge effort. This would be building in a new direction.

I also have been thinking about the "Second Chance Bracket" idea.

I think that is probably worth a new thread. Stay tuned...

Forming a list on Twitter with accounts associated to Teams or significant individuals should do the trick. that is if everyone is willing to use twitter. Other teams/FIRSTers would be able to follow this list and get updates on various teams from each division. (5 total lists, one for each division and one for everyone in general).

from there users can just use whatever Twitter app they like to stay updated to the list (or even text messages for that matter).
