Scouting photo database anywhere?

[rogerlsmith]

There were a few problems with my last post regarding uploading robot pictures to FIRST Objective. Here is the correct information to add photos and that will allow teams to easily find/search for other teams.

Uploading your robot pictures for Championship scouting


Go to FIRSTObjective.org and select Photos from the left-side menu

Once you know what division you will be in at Championship - go to "Groups" and join the group of your division

Pick the Upload button and if this is your first time, create an album for your team, otherwise select your album
if creating a new album, enter a name - most likely our FRC team number (this should help searching)
enter a brief description (maybe school, city, etc)
pick a category - right now 2011 scouting database is the only category

review and change any of the changing options if you wish or leave defaults as is


After album is created, use the "Add New Photos" to add robot pictures to your album (add as many as you want)
(a java applet will run)

Select you picture to upload and click the green up arrow to upload the picture
Enter a title for the photo and a tag (use your FRC team number)
enter a caption if you like
feel free to update any other data regarding your photo (Edit Info)
Click "Save Changes"

Finally, to add your photo to the scouting database in the correct division, click on the picture you wish to use as your scouting photo.
Click the "add box" and you will be able to select the group/division you have joined
Click add to complete

To search for a team, use the search box and enter the team number. If teams add their FRC number in the tags, the search should find them.

Sorry for any confusion. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
