Hey there,

To submit on your website, I would have to register on your forums, something that I don't want to do (there is such thing as too many internet accounts ). However, if posting submissions here counts as entering, I'm in.

Thanks for doing this!

Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...

Yea sorry in order to keep our forums safe and secure and PG13 we don't open it to the general public. You will have to sign up on our forums to post on our contest. It helps to cut down on outside spam as well.

Our contest and the submissions that are submitted have nothing to do with the actual FIRST Robotics Website Award.

You should still sign up cause its going to be epic!


Alex: In order to answer your question, yes we will be taking submissions made on chiefdelphi.com. Just be sure to check back at our forums to see the other teams that have submitted and to scope out the competition. So you guys are in and great job on the site we are glad to have you all as a part of this competition!

We had it submitted, but didn't have everything done we wanted to though. We missed Woodie Flowers and Dean's List submissions though. Competition sounds like an awesome idea.

We got our Woodie Flowers in, and missed Chairman's. We put in a ton of work and thought we really, really had a good chance this year. It's painful, and I feel bad for my kids, who put in so much work.

But... Life doesn't have a rewind button, so we're re-focusing on winning FLR again!

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who was involved in the mix up of AM and PM :/

We need to add a few things and tweak some pages but we'll be ready before the deadline

Thanks so much for giving us this opportunity!

Yeah, we did our Chairman's on Tuesday and were planning on submitting our Woodie Flowers yesterday. I thought they would have mentioned it a bit more since they changed from AM to PM.

I felt bad for the students who worked on Woodie Flowers and the mentor it's for. They deserve recognition, and they don't get any because we didn't notice the time change. I feel bad for the students for Dean's List too. since it's there last year on the team and now they have no chance of recognition outside of the team either.

Re: Did you miss the submission date? Then this is for you...

I believe that the deadline was poorly announced. It was pointed out in the awards forum. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...light=deadline

I believe that waiting until the last twelve hours to submit is a bad idea. The website URL can be entered at anytime, they don't lock the website to the version that is available when you click the button.

The Chairman's Award and Woodie Flowers are very important and it would be sad to miss out because of high traffic at deadline, whether noon or midnight. Those are best submitted at least a day before.
