As of 1 April 2012 there were over 385 pages of content, 4300 pictures (with captions) and 420 documents that described the robots. It's steady growth from May 2011 when there were over 330 pages of content, 3500 pictures (with captions and 310 documents. Our first annual snap shot was in April 2010 there were over 280 pages of content, 2500 pictures (with captions) and 280 documents.  You can see how much the site has grown!

We often get the question, ''Why a Wiki?'' and the answer is '''collaboration!''' All of the members of Downingtown Area Robotics can update the site.  This allows each individual group (like the mechanical or programming teams) to keep information current.  While other websites have sizzle, we think its more important to have lots of relevant content.  For example all the details of our award winning [[4-Wheel_Pivot_Drive | Pivot Drive]] are online, from the first early prototypes to the most current drawings.

Our team members use the pages to describe and track build information, strategy, ToDo items for build sessions, parts orders, etc. Many other teams have internal wiki's they use for the same purpose, ours is on the web so you can see the inner workings of our team.
