Web Excellence Award Winners (Which Teams?)

[Kel D]

I'm confused. So, you didn't have to submit your website or anything to receive this website excellence award? Because we got an email saying we were awarded it with the little logo and everything but we thought it was sent to us by mistake.

ALL websites in the FIRST database (ie if you looked at the regional attendees lists at usfirst.org and the team name was linked to a team site) were judged for the website awards. Any site that score 80% or higher on scoring is awarded the Website Excellence Award. I assume the winner gets it too

Team 639 got it for the Canadian Regional. Visit us at www.team639.org

The site was completely redesigned this year so it is not back to the level as it once was in terms of user features for team members. Well, I guess you can't use that stuff anyway.

That image of our website on FIRST's page kinda sucks. I think it was taken with an early version of Opera 7, which has a known positioning bug seen in the title and on the bottom. For the record, the site works in the major three browsers (and other up-to-standard ones such as Safari), but I think there are a quite a few more content-based reasons Woburn Robotics Online did so well; here's a short article I wrote when I first made it, about the design involved. And here's what Woodie had to say about the award. You can see he mainly speaks of resources and the Ask188 feature.

And the winners get these buttons (not quite the same as the excellence ones):


Nothing cool for the Champs winner though. Other than a third trophy...

Team 383 won (one of?) the Website Excellence Award(s?) at the Midwest regional.

Here's the site in English

I think there is some confusion about the purpose of the thread. Please read this carefully.

FIRST has posted the Best Web Site Winners for each regional. That is a very good resource.

But FIRST has not (as far as I can tell) posted the 75 Web Excellence Winners.

The intent of the thread is to find the 75 teams that won the Web Excellence Award, have those teams respond with their links and just leave a brief description of why they think they were awarded the honor.

Please reread the thread starter and you'll see what we are looking for. Thanks to everyone that responded so far and good luck in the off-season!!

Team 1097 won a Website Excellence Award at SVR.

I would say our site has a good looking design and awesome graphics (which were actually used on our shirts) but hasn't been updated too often. Also, we were informed that our text is a little too small...could we have some feedback on this?

I'm not quite sure if our team got an excellence award or not. I haven't talked to our advisor much since competition, and I have forgotten to ask him.

234 got it at Arizona
