Website deadline

[Chris Bright]

How does the website deadline work. Do they judge based on how the site looks at the deadline, or is that only when the submission is due?

You can work on your website for however long you want. The specified 'deadline' is for teams to submit their link to the FIRSTawards.org system. The judges will then pull up the websites who have links submitted in the system and judge them. If your website is not submitted to FIRSTawards.org by midnight tonight, your site will not be judged or eligible to win an award.

Thanks for the info. I can breath easier. I still have to complete a few pages since there are still a few things I'm wait for from teammates

I have another question:

[Brandon Martus]

They announce the winners at the competitions.

I know what you mean, our website has gone through an up and down week and I'm glad that you don't have to have it all finished by the deadline. Although, I am stil trying to get EVERY page finished and ready to be judged.

Does anyone know exactly when this happens? Our web-team is also mechanical team, and that takes a bit more priority in week 6 when the award is to be submitted by. (which we did register for BTW.) Is this something that is judged in the week(s) following week 6, but before competition, or something that is judged on site at the competition?

That is my question as well. We are getting everything up as best we can but may have to pull some photos due to release forms not being all in at this time. I want to reload the pics as soon as forms come in so that everyone is included.

I would also like to know the exact date... I have been tweaking our site every day (heh) and putting as much content up when as soon as I get it just incase. Someone on my team said it might go from lowest to highest numbers (that would be great for us), but I would like to get an official word if there is one.

9.7.1 Submission and Deadline Information
Only team websites that are entered into Firstawards.org by 12:01 a.m EST on February 19, 2005 will be
judged. Team websites are eligible for these awards at every regional event in which the team is competing.
Only one electronic Website Excellence certificate will be awarded per team for the entire competition
season. A team is eligible to win the Best Website award at multiple regional events.

So, I would suggest that you bring your site back to how it was when you submitted it.

There really isn't anything saying you can't work on it after you submit, though. It only says that the URL has to be in the system at that time.

How would they expect teams to not update a website during the robotics season? Many teams have dynamic content (news, schedule updates, etc) that would be silly to wait until after the season was over before changing.

I guess maybe they just need to clarify this better in the rules.

Just to fill you guys in. Judging has started

[Cujo]

*Squee*

I am nervous. There has been ALOT of effort put into our teams website and it would be a shame if we weren't allowed to work on it after submission. Besides, good websites are NEVER finished, so much to keep up on.

Here's our link, TNT 280

Good Luck To The Other Website Submissions!!!!

You can work on the websites after submission. It would be good if teams maintain a layout through out each season.

[Cujo]

Our team intends to keep our current layout for the website around for a while.
