While it may not be the most aesthetically appealing website, it's rather informative. All the best websites are...

If you really have to write that the "Gracious professionalism police are going to have a field day" at the end of your post, don't post it.

Any website that promotes FIRST is a good website.

3) if you could add some white papers which is on chiefdelphi (like drive trains, calculation papers and such), might help rookies out and also the veterans. - The server I'm using gives me but so much space but I will try and get whitepapers up that consist with Drivetrains and whatever else I may fit probably when January 05 comes around it should be all setup.

4) it would be easier to read all the words very easily if the background was faded out a little bit. - Changed the background since some people *Cough* Roland complained of it making his eyes bleed

5) if you think its alright then add more links such as FIRSTWiki and soap108. (i personally use them a lot for sources). - Added the 2 you have mentioned

6) it would be nice to have previous year's (1992-2002) game objective... (that way a lot of newbies and other who doesnt know about the previous games would learn about it). Same goes for Number 3 with the addition of not having any information for the time period listed above =(


As for the thousand item dropdown menu I have not thoroughly checked to see which sites work but if you would like to volunteer in helping me trim it down to those that strictly work that would be really appreaciative,It could've been worse.... it could've been 1000 links all over the page.......when I free up some time I'll try and make drop down menus for every 300Teams or something like that would that be ok Team 1 -Team 300 Team 301 - Team 600 etc......???????

And my question was still unanswered Does your team or scouting team find any use for a 2005 Team Roster !

Thank you all for your opinions and If I had as much time like Brandon this site would be in better condition and up to date. Unfortunately I work 12p - 8p and get home between 9:30P- 10P tired and hungry with not much time for anything else except playing Socom (PS 2 Game) for an hour or thinking.

Here's a good link for some ways to use javascript to redirect your viewers to another page.

The above links explains how to do various types of redirects using javascript, from instant to timed, and the benefit of javascript is that javascript is more likely to be enabled (and doesn't require any software installed on the server typically) than java.

Hey All,

Just wanted to give you all an Update, I'm currently in the process of making a 2005 Complete Roster of all the teams competing this year, I have at least 75% of it completed, It should be up by the end of the week, I will post it in the White Papers and I'll put a Link in my Signature so that you can d/l it. Chances are that I will not be making another roster since there is an overwhelmingly large amount of teams coming to FIRST each year, not to mention the current teams continually changing their website urls.
Alot of work it is.

I haven't been working on this website lately but I did add maybe one or two small things.

1) A drop down menu of teams with websites - this is taken from the 2004 roster. Beats having to open that large file to look for a website when all you have to do is scroll down to find it now.

2) I also added a couple of small links. Parallax (P-Basic), FIRST Q&A.



Thats really about it

Any ideas or suggestions you know where to find me !

Ok Guys Its that Time:


Thats right time to help me =)

Listen I having issues implenting some JAVA into my website

Heres What I am trying to do:

1) I want a JAVA Application to load when the url of my website is opened.
2) I want the JAVA App. to stay open for about 5 - 7 secs and then forwarding to the actual website.

I am using a program which has been rejected by most but is quite useful for rookies that myself and others can understand - Microsoft Frontpage 2003
I would like to get a better web designing program but they're fairly expensive.


Thanks for any help in advance!!!

You want a timed redirect? I think that can be done in script. But I don't actually know how.

For finidng info on time delays using java(if you are so inclined to do) go here and follw the instructions...just set up the page like any normal one then have the URL redirect to be to the new page that you want. This site will probably answer many questions you have in the actual code, not sure what it can do for your program though. Good luck and feel free to PM me if you get stuck on anything...

You could do a meta refresh

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="7" URL="http://www.team188.com/">

This will start a 7-second countdown once the page has finished loading to load the website given. You can stick it in the <head> element. A better way is actually changing the headers through PHP, but it doesn't look like your host will let you do that. Unless you really want to use Java, this is far easier and more efficient. Hope that helps.
