Thoughts on AdamBots.com

I like your usage of mediawiki- it makes it insanely easy to add things to the site.

Thats one helluva navigation thing on the side. very innovative, but kinda unclear as to how it functions at first. still, its pulled off nicely

i couldnt find a link back to first on the home page )=

The site does, once you find the link, demonstrate what FIRST is. however, there is no way to view the previous year's games )=

Hover tips are very annoying.

Hover tips may appear to be a obtrusive in some cases, but doesn't FIRST require that alt and/or title attributes be placed within image tags; not to mention the w3c's standards which FIRST looks for.

Very smooth running website. I like it a lot. Good work.

Thanks, I'm thinking of ditching the hover tips. As far as previous years go, about half of the FIRST page is dedicated to linking to previous year's games.

Did anyone else have a problem finding previous year's games?

What do you guys think of the new menu? I've also added tons of new content, what are your opinions on that (mainly the About the AdamBots section).

Very nice site! I don't have time to look at the content in depth, but my first impression is a definite good one. I like the unified design and color scheme, and I found the navigation very easy to use and understand – the javascript disclosure effects are especially slick. Everything seems easy to read and pretty well-organized. In general the design seems pretty classy compared to many FIRST websites (my own team's included) and obviously you've put a lot of work into the content. The hover tips for the links are probably a bit unnecessary, but I don't mind them on the images. Overall, I really like the site and didn't notice anything that I would change. Besides, definite bonus points for using MediaWiki and for all those rounded corners – having done web design myself I know that's tougher than it looks. Great job, and thanks for the ship date countdown reminder – it's hard to believe there's only 15 days left!

ChiefDelphi reaches a larger audience and I've noticed that more actual webmasters and judges are on ChiefDelphi as well.

Thank you octothorpe for your comments.
