Game History Website

[Sscamatt]

Does anyone know of a website with the history of all the games from past years since the beginning...with pictures and explanations. I haven't been in FIRST long and am intrested in past years games.

I don't know of a single website off hand but I do know that a lot of the different veteran teams websites contain pictures and sometimes descriptions of the previous years games. I do know that our teams site will (www.team237.com) but it is a relatively new site and some of the links aren't up yet.

nice, just what i was looking for....anyone have pre-1999 games?

Our team has a history section with pictures of past robots and such but it isn't very thorough explaining the previous years games, I'm afraid.

check out this site: http://www.archive.org. Some people are archiving the internet. Go to the way back machine, and type in http://www.usfirst.org and it should give you dates when they last archived it. There are discripions and pictures of most of the games.

This archive site is cool. Can have hours of fun with it lol. Seems like lots of FIRST registering for events and what not is done on the website now a days. Must have been alot harder pre-2002 season or am i missing something?

Here is a nice site: http://www.swindsor.k12.ct.us/first/...ve/92/1992.htm

Replace the 92 with the 2 digit year and the 1992.htm with the 4 digit year.

on the archived first sites i found all the stuff about regionals. I have been following team number expansion over the years. Answered my questions about alot of things including how the team numbers were assigned http://web.archive.org/web/200104051...RCHistory.html

I know that it does not provide info on all of the games but there is so much more that is there.

wow, 25lbs robot weight limit in 1992, I don't even think thats possible to get a running robot under 25lbs today

Don't forget the zipties ^_^

[Sscamatt]

speaking of zip ties....we bought a bag of 500 11in ones and used more than half of them in one meeting

[Tom Bottiglieri]

that was a fun meeting... it took us a half hour to pick up the 10 iicnh parts we cut off.

Andy Baker and I talked at the FIRST Conference at nationals, and I think over the summer we're going to try to make a website archive including video, pictures, descriptions, etc. dating back to the first year. I'm sure one of us will post about it when we get a chance to start it.
