Weight:
Drivetrain:
Ball Capacity:
Traction Control (y/n):
Type of Robot (Shooter, Dumper, etc.)
Speed:

That way, when you go to your regional you can simply print out a team's data straight out from TRA and that'll make scouting much easier. Maybe teams can post 2-3 pics of their robot to give everyone a better idea of what it looks like.

The Discobots (#2587) create a profile for their robot every year and they distribute a printed copy of it at the Regional (I think they call it Robobook... I'm not positive). In my opinion, its a pretty good idea.

OMG Thanks.
Never knew this website existed.

[carpenma]

Well I've never heard of it either... I think we can still do that one better though. Pictures/ and 100% team modifiable. More in depth scouting info etc.

I think the "facebook of first" idea is really good. Every team could make their own page and then it could feature many facebook features.

To mention a few:
-Status updates - build season/where are we
-Event Invitations/RSVP - Off season events, pre robot ship
-Pictures - Uploading and tagging other robots
-Networks - FiM, FLR, MWR, GTR, common sponsors
-About me - Robot attributes and things about the team

Maybe steal top X number of friends from myspace?

I think if you could make tra into something like that, it would be AWESOME

[jsasaki]

your very welcome yeah i found it after our hawaii regional this yeah haha i wished i had it before that in oregon though

Does that mean that we will include a robot's relationship status?

("Team #2585 is in a relationship with Team #_____")

I have to say that I like the idea of a "Facebook of FIRST". I mean ChiefDelphi is really good for technical information and game based info, but I think that a more socially focused site would be a great idea. You could include links to each member's team on TBA, their profile on CD, and their profiles on a few other social sites like Facebook, MySpace, or even YouTube.

We're almost there...

TBA links are in the CD profile, other social sites can be added by the user whenever (wherever) they want, and IM info is available...

I'd show up blank on any social networking sites anyway; I'm not on any of them. I think dtengineering's signature says it best:

Chief Delphi is my Facebook.

I have to say it would be cool to have a website dedicated to Fantasy First games. Somewhere with the teams loaded, some basic info on points, the ability to set up leagues and do drafts on the website. Something very similar to the tons of fantasy sports websites out there.

Maybe TRA could be a home for something like that if someone has the ability and desire to do the coding.

[Greg Marra]

Can someone from The Red Alliance please PM me? I have PMed "Vision", but I haven't heard back yet.

It would be better if it was like:

[After CMP]
Team #67 and Team #217 are now married
