Without judges the rules are pointless.

There should a rule which states at a main championship there should be no less then three judges. So we don't end up with the most biased person in our hobby who is known to hate certain robots judging one of the main competitions on his own.

Plus is there any news on the wiki page. There are many roboteers who would enter the text in to the pages themselves if one was set up.

The new website is just about ready, and this includes full editing so people can create, edit and publish pages on the site. If you (or anyone you know) are interested in publishing, please let me know so I can setup your account.

Sounds good Kane, look forward to seeing it. I'm sure on the announcement people will come forward and make the website have as much information as possible on it.

And thanks for the reply on the judges situation.

I'd be happy to contribute what knowledge I have to any information pages that are set up that can help new people get started in the sport. I don't know everything there is to know and if there's anything I put that isn't 100% correct or accurate I don't mind people correcting it. But when you mention about publishing pages, is it like a proper web page? So would I need HTML skills? (or whatever's used for web pages these days :crazy: )
Or is it more like a wiki setup where we can just focus on posting the information at hand?

Would it be worth having different sections?

Ie: basic info, spinner info, pneumatic info, crusher info etc etc etc

@matt I agree with you that would be very useful

I can program HTML it's really simple(well not if it's complex stuff!)

It's even simpler if you use one of the free wysiwyg editors. Just like producing a word document.

The new site is based on Joomla which includes a WYSIWYG editor so it's all pretty easy :)

now that takes me back! :lol:

Well in that case, I'd like to put myself forward for an account to edit and publish stuff. Hopefully I can witter words of wisdom to the new breed :)
