Move the hosting of Bill's Blog from Blogspot to USFIRST.org. Since content posted there has become part of FRC canon, the blog deserves a home on the FIRST website.

This is very easy to do with any Blogger blog, and I've even done it with my own blog.

I agree that webcasts should be very easy to find. It's a great way to get people interested in FIRST, and it's hard to get people interested if they have to dig.

How about if they had a new url like usfirstfrc.org that lead you straight to the FRC page because when I'm trying to explain to people how to navigate the website they have the hardest time understanding how to get from the home page to the FRC page.

How about http://www.usfirst.org/frc?

Totally just blew my mind, lol

I figured something like that excised, I'll have to remember to tell people that when I direct them to the FIRST website.

I want to see a searchable map of all teams, organized by competition (FLL, FTC, FRC), on usfirst.org somewhere. It wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to do, and it could help people who are interested in helping teams find some in their area to work with.

All the teams could register at their address on TIMS (I don't think that's required) then they could just import that data into points in a Google Maps application on their website. Right?

The fact that teams have been able to come up with better methods of finding other teams than the umbrella organization for the competition shows how capable the students and mentors are, but how apprehensive FIRST is.

Also, our school district (and I would assume others as well) blog all of Blogger on the school network. Having it on usfirst.org would be nice.
