Our e-mail server was down the last two weeks and I am <shameless plug> rather partial to our site </> but the server is now back up and it would be really cool if we received one of the awards.

FIRST sent an e-mail to our main contact telling us (and congratulating us on) we won a website excellence award. The banner was included as an attachment to the e-mail.

Team 96 won and website excellence award.

http://www.team96.org

Our site was completely student built, contains some programs (VB, PHP, etc) that students made, links to local teams, some amusing stories (the lessons learned section is hilarious, in my humble opinion).

The main site works off of one file, index.php, which calls the pages content from a MySQL database, generates a navbar thaty expands out for whatever catagory you are browsing. We also have a scouting database.

The forum we use isn't made by the team, but the webmaster is the program leader for the team that does develope it (and yes, he is me, and I am a student).


Right now the site looks a little different, because we are working on some more stuff.

Sorry about reviving the thread, but I just found out that my team won a website excellence award for the Southern California Regional. Currently, however, the site is being updated so ya can't really see the page.

I probably ought to note that the Website Excellence Award at FIRSTWiki has a list of the Website Excellence Award winners. However, the list was taken from this thread so it's still horribly incomplete - only 14 of the 75 winners have been identified.

RAGE, Team 173, won a Website Excellence Award for the UTC Regional and for the Mid-Atlantic regional in NJ.

Our site (http://www.combbat21.com) also recieved the Website Excellence Award (I believe we recieved it from the Palmetto Regional in SC, but I am not positive)

1037 won the "Website Design Award" at Detroit, and 461 won it at Midwest. However, that doesn't preclude 217 from winning the "Website Excellence Award" at either regional, which went to the teams that website's scored above a certain level. And that it's the excellence award that this thread is about.
