Looks good.

I can't read most of it, but I'll comment on graphics and such.

First off, I'm not sure you can put the FIRST Logo on a different color background as you did. Read the Logo Standards for complete rules on using it.

Specifically these rules:

Do not obscure and weaken our logos by placing them on visually active background patterns, strong textures or incompatible shades of color.

Besides that I actually have no other comments, it looks great. I love the logo.

I like it. I would like it even better if i coudl read it!

Edit: Wow, thats incredible, I love it!!

I like the layout of the site. Two things: The FIRST logo up in the banner is muddy, and I don't think that will go over with FIRST (I cant see you having any problems with the logo on the navy background). Secondly, I love the language selector up in the top left, but it takes away from the banner. If you have the .fla file, I'd suggest that you make a new layer that fills in the rest of the banner. Other than that, I looks great.

Just in case you guys missed it, in the top left corner, if you click on the flash, you can change the website into English...

Nice website tho...

[adlertk]

you are right! I read the document :

Logo Standards

and I realized that the FIRST logo can't be in a different way!! I really dint't know that!!! Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) Thanks all suggestions...that's really important for us from Tribotec Team...

FIRST community, keep on giving suggestions because it's really useful to improve the website...

I hate flash when it is used for functional elements. I'd highly recommend replacing that flash piece to switch the language with either some snazzy javascript or some less snazzy CSS rollovers.

It's just an accessability thing.

Could be....but as we have already made it in Flash...I don't think we are going to change it now....There is another animation almost ready that will replace that piece and the whole banner.....await to see.....in the new animation, the mascote blink his eyes and looks in the mouse direction ....Next week, I think this new animation will be there in the website.....

Yeah I didn't realize it at first either, though personally I don't see what the big deal is.

Hmm...I didn't even notice the language converter, i figured all that was just part of the graphic.

I love the layout and the content is great but I didn't realize that it can be changed to English until I read nartak's post. An easier to find "change language" button would be great.

On the sponsors english page,

you say US dollar 200,00.

I assume you mean 200.00 (replacing the comma with the period in this case is the way to go).

If you mean twenty thousand, then put the comma like 20,000 (three digits at the end).

Thanks for noting that...seems like we made a slight error in typewriting heheh...
The value is $ 200.00 ... it ended up as 200,00 by mistake (in Brazil, a comma replaces the period, to indicate decimal places/tenths/thousandths, cents, etc)...

hi!
Thank you so much! But the button"Change language" has been written, yeah, our programmer didn't change the flags, sorry, In portuguese, the correct flag would be the eua's flag, not brazilian...
Sorry again...and big thanks!

I have already proposed to make the language change more visible than now...because many people didn’t notice that the website is bilingual (English and Portuguese)...thanks...your suggestion is going to be implemented soon….

Hey there guys, i'm the webdesigner of the team... and i will do something to make the language selector more, "VIEWTIFUL " lol...

and about the layer white in the language selector, try to view the site with te IEXPLORER... then the backgroung of the flash will be transparent... ok?!

thanx
