Re: Our Website

Neato, really like the layout of this one. I especially like the large picture scroller at the top of the homepage... except that it takes the place of your logo making your website a little less recognizable. Perhaps you could insert your team number in large text above the scroller, or superimpose it on a corner of the scrolled images. On other pages your logo is clear to see, I would suggest incorporating your team number, however, to help with name recognition.

Another thing I liked was the nav bar on the left, the animation was very aesthetically pleasing, but I'm used to middle clicking links in Firefox (to open them in new tabs) and the flash menu disallows this. This may be a limitation of flash, but is there any way to allow that type of clicking in flash?

Its good to see that information on the page is updated frequently, I've heard that in the past judges really looked for that. You've got a good website so far, keep up the good work.

Re: Our Website

Nice looking site, has some originality.

Our History is a broken link, I get a Page not Found error
Sitemap loses the navigation menu, kind of awkward
Why are the emails on the contact page not mailto links?
The "sitemap" at the bottom of each page is kind of confusing, why are they not hyperlinks? Or why are they there at all?

I agree with Branden, I like the large scroller picture in the header of the home page

The bouncing menus are cool, but could quickly become annoying.

Overall I would give it three thumbs up!
