If this was truly a mobile-friendly website, they wouldn't have a 150kb to 200kb image header on every page.

That being said, I wish the rest of the FIRST website was as straight forward as this mobile website.

I like how the Hall of Fame space is about 1/4 of the size of a bathroom and 1/5 the size of the FIRST store...

Wow, I poured over that map for 10 minutes before I could even find the HOF space.

This isn't a response to your post, but rather a point of comparison: "The Chairman’s Award is FIRST’s most prestigious award . . . The Chairman’s Award helps keep the central focus of the FIRST Robotics Competition on the goal of inspiring greater levels of respect and honor for science and technology."

With this layout, the Chairman's award winners are only the central focus between the First store and Scholarship booth.

I don't think that is the actual HoF space. That must be a display about HoF teams rather than the actual HoF. They each set up a pit sized display, no way does that fit there!

We are not being given the space we previously had. Each team is getting a banner provided by FIRST showing the year we won and a team photo, along with a 24" diameter cocktail table style arrangement.

It's pretty much an embarrassment. I didn't think they could make it worse than last year where it was shoved off in a corner, but this might take the cake.

So, as teams, do we all need to complain that we do not like the new format?

Let's get there and take a look, and if it looks sad you can give Bill a note in his box.

The image is labeled "level 1". Are there maps available of other levels?

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/CMP Division Lists Available/Mobile-Friendly Championship Website

Since we're not (yet) a hall of fame team I don't have any standing in this. I must say in Atlanta I felt sorry for the kids from HOF teams who were expected to man their booths even though few people ever stopped to talk to them. This is our first year in St. Louis so itr sounds like last year was quite a step down from Atlanta.

Maybe there's a better way to honor these teams all year round? Perhaps there could be a section of the FIRST website where each team can post a summary of their team. Maybe videos from all the HOF teams could be run during down times on the field. Much as I love one more round of YMCA, learning about all the HOF teams would be a nice change. Maybe those HOF videos could run at all the regionals as well.

Its pretty sad. We were told of the layout awhile ago. I think few if any HoF teams are happy about this.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/CMP Division Lists Available/Mobile-Friendly Championship Website

Geez, and here we are spending so much time trying to figure out how we were going to fill up the space and bring it all from Hawaii, only to find out no work necessary.

I guess we spent all that money and manpower for nothing. FIRST should have communicated to ALL of the HOF teams their plans as soon as they knew!

Curious that Curie is showing 88 in the "pit map" diagram. Maybe there are revisions yet to come.
