Be careful with the video... i think you are going to run into some copyright issues.

The video does have the copyright right at the beginning of it, "FIRST Presents." My guess is that it's okay, after all, it is promoting FIRST.

The intent and use of the video is irrelevant. It is still copyrighted material being redistributed (I assume) without the permission of the copyright holder. Intent only matters if it affects FIRST's decision to sue or not, and, if they do, for how much.

There is archive ... It is on the left navigation pane, just click on the little arrow that drops down the menu for it!

Okay, it'd be nice if FIRST could clear their copyrighting up a little. I've seen plenty of teams with the FIRST graphics (banners, game logos, all that) on their site. How's the video different from the FIRST logo?

Because FIRST has specific rules that you can look up about logo usage (unmodified, must contain the "FIRST" letters below the logo, and on a white background). I believe everything else is restricted.

If you can critique the website I would greatly appreciate it. It isn't fully done yet but still we need input on what to put on it. Thanks

Frontpage is a terrible program for this kind of stuff, great for beginners I guess. There's a lot of junk in your code and just doesn't look organized. The design however is cool, just don't use an uncommon font like Impact, you'll run into trouble with computers that don't have that font (computers running mac or linux).

Current website http://robotics.southriverhigh.org however I am working on a new template so it will soon look more like http://img266.imageshack.us/my.php?image=testkc3.jpg (cept much better, first logo, banner instead of grey header, content, and more fun stuff like that. )

www.bxsciborgs.com is our new site. It's still in development but is coming along nicely. Here's hoping for a repeat Website award *fingers crossed*.
