Woburn Robotics Online: team188.com

[jonathan lall]

I'd like to officially welcome you all to the new team188.com, which I think is chock-full of everything you need to know about our team and FIRST in Canada. Although we launched 90% complete on the Kickoff day as a large number of you have seen (judging by our site logs) I never made a post here to get any criticism. Consider this that post .

This website was made with XHTML 1.1 and CSS, has two site themes (I plan on making more, including a print and low-capability one), and loads really quickly. It degrades gracefully in older browsers and uses no presentational markup. It validates and is accessible; more interestingly, it wasn't incredibly hard to do -- it's all common sense -- although some people seem to think it is hard and that the benefits aren't worth it. We'll see.

A few random features:

• A public forum where questions can be answered quickly
• Ask188: A part of the Site Message System, wherein any team can ask us a question or for advice, and we respond ASAP (this is really popular already)
• A Forum-aid browser sidebar compatible with the top three browsers
• Videos and Animations from past years, including our Chairman's Award submission from two years back
• A photo gallery (which I still have to update with a new gallery)
• A large set of FIRST Frenzy-specific resources, including news, team info, conglomerated rules, and a game overview
• A large repository of features and articles
• The official theme song of Woburn Robotics
• Useful documents for other teams, including our own declassified docs binders and timelines
• A brief history of the team
• A page dedicated to our Lego endeavours
• A page dedicated to our sponsors
• A guestbook (sign it!)
• The Brawny Lad

If you are a member of a FIRST team, I encourage you to take a look and give feedback here in this thread. I would like to improve it, but the 'web team' is just me.
