Highland Robotics Website

Here is the website for Highland High School Robotics, Team 1110. We will be competing at the Southern California Regional next week. I just want to see what y'all think of our new site, any tips/constructive criticisms are welcome and encouraged. Sorry that it's hosted on angelfire, but its the best we can do for now, hopefully we'll have more money next year for the website to get a good host.

Re: Highland Robotics Website

I'm reviving this thread to update a link to the website. I've been working on it alot updating much of the stuff. Also, I'm thinking about redesigning the site over the summer, so i'd like your input. It'd be great if you guys could tell me what to keep, what to change, what to get rid of, what to add, etc. for a new design.

I'm already working on the following projects for the site:
*Scouting Database
*Member's Area
*News Comments
*More White Papers/Downloads

Oh and, BTW: check out the news story under the Press Clippings section if you're in for a laugh, the press got a few little facts wrong about the game.

Re: Highland Robotics Website

Overall its a very good website, keep working on it. Yes, try to add a little more color. Otherwise, it's a neat design. Good Job.

Oops, I forgot to post the new link, with all the new stuff I've been working on. The layout is still the same, and color is one of the big things I will change. OMG I feel like an idiot for forgetting the link. Here it is: http://www.hhsrobotics.circuitrunners.com

On the newest version of the site (see link above quote) I have changed it so that the information is sent to a text file on the server. This has just been updated, so I haven't had any submitted info yet, and the website still needs to be more publicized.

That was an error that I was having, its the Website Excellence Banner and I got it right on the new version.

This was used back during the build season, but its not on the new version because we aren't building anymore. Every night we would have a different parent bring food (pizza, McDonalds, tuna salad , whatever) and each parent would bring food three times during the build.

Thanks, I'm going to add more links to that page and not the sidebar to actually make that page useful.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll work on it.

Also, as others have been suggesting, try messing with the colors (or lack thereof). It looks as if you might have css in your page so that won't be that difficult.
I'll see about getting that done.


Thank you all for your suggestions.

I'll have to look into that. IE is "broken" on my computer and I use SBC Yahoo! which doesn't have problems. Anyone else having this problem?

This is what I get for using a remote chat room. Does anyone know of any good (and easy to install) scripts for chat rooms. I've got the capabilities for PHP and PERL, but I can't seem to get the PERL scripts to work as of yet, still inexperienced.

I just went to the "chat" page and had no problems, it gave me a link to click on to log in once the page displayed. I'm using IE6 and Windows 2000 Pro with all the current patches.

Sounds like you were going through the old website, the link in the first post. If you were, please try this link.

I just clicked the link you supplied and I was at the login page asking for a nickname and email address and join channel. This page is different than the one I was at before but I still had no issues.

Thumbs up Re: Highland Robotics Website

Allright, I've modified the link in the first post so that no one gets sent to the old site. Again, thanks for all your input.

And here's a quote from that news story I mentioned: "...was one of dozen robots that mastered the challenge of hanging from a 9-foot-high wire for 15 seconds..." This newspaper is known quite well for messing up facts and quotes, but we got a plug, so I'm not complaining.

EDIT: Oh and these guys are my biggest competition for the Best Website Award at the Southern California Regional. They've won the past two years in a row.

Place your attention entirely on my voice and try to ignore all the others. It is important to be able to focus on a single source of information while blocking out all the other things competing for your attention.
