Re: FIRST website is an embarasment
I am an veteran volunteer and mentor. I could not find the following information:
(A) Volunteer for an Event.
Goto FRC, click on 'volunteer' and you get a helpful message about volunteering, but no where is there a button that takes you to VIMS. Try typing 'VIMS' in the search box, and you get a bunch of links, but none are the VIMS website. I wound up typing FIRST VIMS into google.
(B) Confirm that I am registered with my team for this season. Am I ? Who can tell.
(C) Find the FIRST calendar. (google: USFIRST calendar)
UI and UX designers test interfaces by taking novice users and giving them a task or two on an App. I defy FIRST to do the same (1) Find a team in my area for my student. (2) Volunteer with a team. (3) Volunteer for an event.
If experienced users in FIRST cannot do it, how can we attract any new people ?
