How about all 3? It would be good for a TBA similar site for those too (FIRST isn't just all about FRC)

Awesome! Something should deffinitely be done with this domain. I would really appreciate a better and easier way to view photos from teams and events. It would also be nice to have a different way to view and upload too, because with CD-Media, you can only load one at a time. Another neat thing to do, would be to make theredalliance a place for scouting data and theoretical analysis. I always get a little annoyed as well, when I view a team on the bluealliance and I can't see there current years robot!?!?! It would be nice to have a team profile on there (brief), along with a compiled database for teams with scouting information to show and swap!!

The expiration date is today,

so does that mean it will now be property of TBA?

Is this FIRST related?

Search around here and you'll find some stuff.

You can't transfer a domain that is within 7 days of expiring, so if it hasn't been transferred already, it's too late. The best bet is for the current owner to renew the domain name, and then transfer it.

As was demonstrated with firstwiki.net, it can be much more expensive to get a domain name back then to register it or renew it.

There is generally a grace period where the original owner can still renew after it is expired.

That's really cool how you have a lot of 2005 videos on there. Are you able to search team numbers on the site?

Sweet work Vision! Um as far as The Red Alliance is concerned, I believe I have taken over command. Please, feel free to PM any ideas to me.

[robostangs548]

As owners of the red alliance, we have decided to pass the site to a very dedicated individual. Carpenma will now have control, so if you have any ideas, please let him know. Thanks.

Just like TBA is supposed to be a Scouting Station, maybe TRA could include more detailed info for every robot. This year, we could've submitted the following info to TRA:

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.

[carpenma]

That was actually one of the ideas we had on the table. A profile for each robot. A "Facebook of FIRST" if you will to provide a great scouting service.

I think I'll let you guys generate ideas for a little while, then I'll make a poll to see what the community would like most. So, keep them coming!

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.
