Agreed. If you the left-hand navigation is in the same place on every page, you don't even need to have the top nav bar, which would make the layout a bit cleaner.

There should also be more of a change to the current page's link on the sidebar--maybe make it bold. It's a little hard to notice the difference between the purple and white, as you have it now (especially for the color blind 10% of the male population!)

Also consider making the nav links a little more descriptive (maybe "About the Team" instead of "Team", "FIRST Challenge" or "About the Challenge" instead of "Challenge", etc.)

Otherwise, the navigation system and site structure are very clear, and the content is presented clearly. Good work so far!

Oh, and I just noticed--have you considered moving the content from the Overdrive media page over to the new website? Most people visiting the site won't realize that they're looking at an old version of the site, and they'll get stuck in the 2008 version.

Overall, good use of photos, too.

[Trying to Help]

On your Java programming page - nice idea by the way! - the second and third sentences need some help.

Your front page has a sentence that starts "Each September" and it's a little awkward. I believe that you might want to write "students who must go through a rigorous process".

I do like the way it looks though.
