FRCNewTab: Random team info & pretty robot photos in your new tab

[BrennanB]

Best add on in ages. Does it only filter teams that have robot pictures?

Considering dropping Firefox and moving to Chrome just for this because I want it now

I thought about doing that, but I decided to avoid excluding people, I would instead make teams without pictures automatically fallback to some generic FIRST photos which I pulled (with permission) from the FIRST Georgia Flickr page.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be adding an option to hide teams without photos. Also, TBA is going to implement a "quality media" system, so once that's out I can create an option to avoid low quality photos.

It's live now.

I've been using this since it was still in "beta". Took a while to get used to not having my recent sites, but I got used to it. As an aspiring game announcer it's a huge help to learning various team names and numbers.

Plus it's just so darn pretty! Thanks Erik.

Ah I see!

Also why do some of the images link to the team website rather than TBA? eg 1676?

The team number and team name link to different things.
