Three questions:
1. Is it OK to submit a url that goes to a website description page (i.e. explaining what went into the site, etc...)
2. How important is validation. It won't be possible to fix ~23 errors due to the framework used (Drupal).
3. How do judges check custom code? We do use drupal, but we did quite a bit on the back end php structure, as well as css and html.

Could someone verify if the videos work in IE? I checked and it does not work, I want to see if its something I need to fix. They are HTML5.

1. Submit your main URL - http://www.rockymountainrobotics.com/
2. It's on the rubric, but it's not terribly important. Validation is nice, but it doesn't actually mean a site will be cross browser compatible. More often than not, you have to break validation in order to get something to work on some browser.
3. If you'd like to highlight your custom code, you can have an "About this Website" section, and detail what you've done. Some judges will have web dev experience, others won't.

Some feedback:

• Blogs have "You are not allowed to post a new blog entry." at the top
• The Public Relations blog is empty
• Remove the read more links, by setting Drupal to show the full blog posts. Most are short, and the "Read more" link implies that there is more when there isn't.
• The Departments block disappears on the QA and Website blogs.
• Throw a FIRST logo + link in the footer
• In the footer, move the resources to the right. They are almost all off site links, so you should group them together with the other offsite set (Sponsors).

Your site has a LOT of activity and it's shaping up nicely.
