CD-Media Tagging Reminder: Use frc#### for team numbers

[artdutra04]

You worked hard on your robot for the last six weeks. Now that you've finished, you want to share your robot on Chief Delphi with the FRC community.

To help avoid your photo from being lost forever and impossible to find, tags on CD-Media are used to help quickly identify what year and team that photos of a robot are from. They're like Twitter hashtags, but without the # prefix and they existed before Tiwtter was invented. Here's quick reminder on how to best tag your photos to ensure they don't get lost:


1. Tags are used to help quickly look for robots. Adding the year that a robot was built for (such as 2015) greatly helps avoid confusion when people are looking for photos of your team, such as for scouting.

2. Use the proper naming convention for team numbers. The proper convention is frc#### (with no padded zeros). For example "frc1114" for anything from Simbotics or "frc254" for the Cheesy Poofs or "frc33" for the Killer Bees.

The frc before the team number is very important for ensuring photos uploaded to Chief Delphi show up on things like The Blue Alliance.

If you tag your CD-Media photo with just your "####" team number it may be confused with FTC or VRC teams (who also sometimes upload robot photos here). If you tag your photo with something like "Team####" or "[High School Mascot] Robotics" it won't show up on The Blue Alliance and will make it harder for scouts to find photos of your robot. The only surefire way to ensure your robot photos can be easily found are with frc####.

Thanks for your assistance, and good luck on these last few days until ship date bag-and-tag!
