Website
Current Sub-Team: Michelle I., Laura B., Abigail W., Jenna F., Shannon S., Anna D.
Mentor: Gary L., along with some help from Chris I.
​2013 Website: Once again Team 340 decided to try something new. Now with six members on the subteam the work became a lot easier. There was also no HTML used therefore more members were able to join. Each were strong in different categories and they built upon each others strengths in order to create the website today. The 2013 website is on wix, under the team340.org domain.
2012 Website:​ Although the 2012 website did not do as well as the website subteam hoped they learned a lot. The team learned patcients and how working together really does pay off. In 2012 only one of the student members need HTML and CSS but by the end of the year the other two started to learn how some codes worked. The 2012 website was on wordpress.
2011 Website: The 2011 website was made by a former student Rebecca Wasmer. It had won the website award 2 years in a row (2010,2011). When Becca graduated, new students stepped up into her position and made the decision to start fresh on a whole new website. Even though that website is not in use anymore we would still like to give it some recognition for all the hard work that was put into it and the awards it won. The 2011 website was on Durpal.
​Background: For years our website has been run by mainly one
person with the help of others, not including its start which involved numerous
people, but mainly the upkeep. This year was different though, multiple people were
involved in the formation of this site and upkeep it allowing different ideas to
flourish. Our past website was on Durpal.com it was a nice website, our team
just needed something new.
Question and Answer for the 2012 FIRST Team 340 Greater Rochester Robotics (GRR)
Website
​Was HTML or CSS Involved​?
Yes. But compared to other years there is much less on this website. This was implimented because only a fair few students knew HTML and CSS, but many more wanted to be able to work on the website. Therefore, the website was moved to a no HTML editor so all members could help on the website if they desired. But the HTML or CSS used on this website is in the pictures, widgets and little details.
​How Are Your Members Informed/ How Do They Communicate?
Our members our informed through our forums, and our team calendar.
These allow the necessary information to be accessible to even those who were
unable to attend meetings and still have an understanding what is going on.
​
Is Your Website Compatible With Other Systems?
Yes. The only thing that may be a little different on certain computers may be the gradients
on some of our headers along with the orange used. But our website is available
on phones with internet.
​
I Want To Learn HTML, CSS, or XHTML. Can You Recommend How?
You can’t learn HTML overnight, but www.w3schools.com is a very useful site to
help aid in learning. Also, keep a journal and write down important concepts
that you pick up on. Finally, practice. You will never discover what is possible
if you never try it out.
