[TBA]: Team Data Refreshed for 2009

[Greg Marra]

I just did a scrape of my.usfirst.org and updated all team data with the data from TIMS. This means everything about your team (with the exception of your "nickname"), ought to be up to date based on TIMS. This includes formal team name, website, location, and rookie year.

Please let me know if this isn't the case for any teams.

Hey Greg
I don't know if this is the place to say it, but our data is wrong. For teams attending the Microsoft Seattle Regional, under "Shorewood High School", we should be called "Team Pronto" and our website is http://teampronto.com. I couldn't find any other way of getting that info to ya so I hope this works

Team Pronto may be your team nickname, which is not on TBA. However, the formal team name is typically a list of the team's core sponsors.

I am trying to get a list of team nicknames. FIRST hasn't responded to my e-mail to frcteams@usfirst.org.

I am not sure where to find a list of current team nicknames. I am looking into how to bulk update this for all 1800 teams.

Sounds like the only real way to do so is to convince FIRST to add the team nickname to the TIMS, since the only place you could find the nicknames now that I know of is to browse team websites and their introductions at competitions (which are generally not archived...).
