Thoughts on AdamBots.com

I hate to seem completely ocd, but i noticed that on the main/home page, you have a team picture with white lights at the top. It could just be me, but the lights seem to merge in with the background of the page making it look like a wierd dimension issue.

like i said, it could be a little ocd, but i thought that it was worth pointing out.

Other than that, I love the site layout and design, and the nav bar on the side. And I like the glossy images, it adds a nice touch

The team picture will be changed in about two weeks with the FIRST 2008 team picture, so that doesn't concern me much.

Thanks for the feedback!

Not quite sure where the similarities are, it'd also be nice to have a little more input (make your post a little more valuble).

Thanks for the compliment though!

Navigaton - it is easy to get around, i could find everything easy
FIRST Content - the first content is ok. i couldn't find anything about gracious professionalism! that is FIRST's main idea
Visual Aids - where are they? i could only find a couple. in the team history section, i found some. maybe i'm not looking hard enough??
Copyright - it seems to be very original. but i'm pretty new, so i probably wouldn't have seen it anywhere
FIRST Logo - the first logo is displayed prominently.

now i can say good site!!

Thanks for the compliments, I'll probably add something about gracious professionalism in FIRST's Vision or something.

As far as visual aids go, I think I'm fine with that, if you take a look at pages like the Media Gallery, About the AdamBots, and Team Outreach, you'll find lots "visual aids".

I can, for once, say that our site has reached some sort of "finished" level. Anyone have criticism before the judges start grading it (if they haven't started already)?

By the way, I'm continuing to update stuff on our Build Season, I assume that's fine because it's kind of necessary, right?
