???

Is this FIRST related?

[Greg Peshek]

At the bottom of the page it has the George HW Bush quote "It's the WWF.. For Smart People!" from last year's Championship speech, so I would assume it's FIRST related.. aside from that.. I know nothing.

It looks like it hasn't been touched in a while. Has a long way to go before it catches up to TBA. (I think we're lookin at a G14 on the blue alliance).

FTC???

My guess is yes, it is FIRST related. I don't know what they'd do, but it could very well be. It doesn't look like it's been updated. If your looking to purchase the domain name, try clicking this link!

Maybe TBA could buy it and make a spin off site for FTC or FLL...
The Registration expires next month.

Yeah, my team owns the domain.... We had big plans to make a FIRST video sharing network, but then we started talking to FIRST and they said we would need to get every sponsors permission to put their logos and team members in the videos (which were obviously going to be in them) and then that idea just died... We would possibly have to encounter major lawsuits if we do it wrong, or at minimum tens of thousands of waivers to be signed. So for right now, we have no major plans... Does anyone have any good ideas?

like it was said earlier spin off site for ftc or fll

[Herodotus]

Well Blue Alliance is video, maybe Red Alliance could be photos? Sure, we have CD Media but it could be far more effective to have a dedicated robotics photo sharing site.

...instead of any FLL/FTC threads getting pushed off the front page faster than robots tipped in '06.

I always thought it would be a good idea for the Red Alliance to be an archival site for non technical documents from teams. Chairman's, WFFA, Hand books business plans, outreach etc.

so, how did The Blue Alliance pull this off again
or maybe youtube
or SOAP
or... name any other video sharing service that has events archived.

i'd like the site to be a user generated video site, minus archives, like say crowd reactions, or something funny that happened during build.

"the crazy stuff that happens at the hotels, or during build (dodgeball in 04 and 06) are the things that make FIRST a closer community than any other competitive event i have seen before".

EDIT: or you could do the FTC/FLL thing, that doesn't sound too bad... maybe even VRC?

I rather like the idea of a robot picture sharing site. On TRA could you archive match vidoes like TBA does, only maybe faster? An FTC/FLL would also be a good idea.
