So if you can pull it off congrats, man but this task has claimed many a man so beware my friend. Beware.

Oh, Im well aware of the failures Ed. Well aware. But I think I have this on lockdown.

Sheesh, you people underestimate me. Already working together.

This will be awsome if it works out man!

I'd like to see this system integrated with other parts of the forum (CD-Media, CD-Events, etc.)

For example, CD-Events knows what teams will be at an event. CD-Media knows which images, movies, and papers correspond to that team. With one click you can have a comprehensive scouting report on a team.

[Brandon Martus]

That's the idea ..

CD-Events events are taggable .. so eventually the event detail will show some random pictures from those events. The awards won by teams at these events will show on the event detail. The CD members who attended will show up. Fantasy FIRST leagues for that event will be listed.

Fantasy FIRST will feed from all of this data ..
Other systems can feed from this data (exports via xml, rss, csv, txt, whatever)

Two results:
1) easy Fantasy FIRST.
2) (more importantly) a pretty extensive database of FIRST history.

I'm hoping to have something working for a test run during Championships?

If not for then .. then possibly for IRI.
