Perhaps this is me and my minimalist attitude when it comes towards websites, but if that's going to be your main page... Personally, I think it's WAY too much text to be assaulted with on a main page. A good home page is one that I can glance at and INSTANTLY know what the page is about. So simple things, like a <H1> title, and a picture (preferably somewhat large) of something like your robot would be a good introduction. Once people have the basic idea of what the site is about, lead them away with a little navigation bar or something (same bar should be on every page of the site), and they can use THAT to get to the gobs and gobs of text. It's a much more user-friendly way to go about it. Give them a tease with the intro, then once they decide to want to see more, that's when you hit them with the Latin.

Oh, and about that green, if you're going to keep it, don't use that brown. They clash.

Nice... Very nice.
I like that the colors and look are not traditional. All of our robots are different, so should be our web sites.

I like that you tell us upfront where your team is located. On some sites you have to look to tell where the team is from.

A general comment for all on color selections. There are studies about color blindness in the population. It is estimated that 7% of the male population is red/green color blind to some degree. Interestingly enough it is limited to males, with only .4% of the female population being affected.
There are web sites to test this out. This is one colorfilter There are others, just Google for them. Your site, being green dependent, works well with the color filters applied.

It's great to see that your page validates both to the Wc3 standards for HTML and css. I wish more teams would take this step and clean up their code.

I would rethink your use of the first logo. Their guidelines can be found here. It is a registered trademark now, so there are new guidelines to follow.
You can submit your logo changes to them for approval.

I am always concerned about right hand columns and how they print. The page prints well.

I am a believer in keyword and description meta tags. I don't see any in your code. If you don't believe that they help the search engines, their value is in getting you to think about your site. They force you to focus on the page content.

I peeked at your code and then your css file because I saw that you use the h1 tag more than once. You define the h1 tag three different ways. It is better to reserve the h1 tag for the single most important element on the page. Use the h tags to define the order of the important elements on your page. The H tags are not just for styles, they have relevance to the search engines.
