280 won at GLR

The animations are awesome this year. In 2003 it seemed like there were mostly not-so-good animations, in 2004 there were mostly so-so animations, and this year most of them are looking great! Good job teams!

Re: 2005 Regional AVA Winners
 

I'd love to find a link to this MASTER PIECE. I personally would hate to say someone is better than everyone else without seeing everyone elses work. I looked in the forum and on their site and had no luck finding the animation. Overall I'd agree the quality is improving, I think we need to get the word out and look for Animation Mentors. Lots of teams are still struggling.

Good luck to everyone in Atlanta- and in the remaining regionals

Royal Assault Team 357 won the AVA at the Pittsburgh Regional. The title is EDUCATION FIRST: First enhances education. One the great features of the animation is the original rap the students wrote and performed as the music for the animation. http://eugene.mikexstudios.com/anima...animation2005/

Here is a copy of the lyrics. “FIRST Rap” Lyrics

Listen up dude it was back in ‘92(1)
When I stepped out of the ‘hood' and Kamen started his crew.
Now in ‘05 robotics is owning our lives.
Six weeks later, now we’re going full drive

For inspiring and recognizing science and technology.
Listen up Holmes, or you’ll miss the terminology:
Dynamics, kinematics, electricity,
Work, force, torque, and gear theory.

I learned to program in my school curriculum:
Loops, variables, functions, and algorithms.
My robot lives with code.
I wrote it all,
Loaded the file, pressed compile,
And watched it fall.

Chemical reactions aiding the mind
To take learned actions and apply them to time.
Carbon tetrahedrals we cannot shun;
They’re the basis of life in everyone.

It’s not just the triangle, circle, and square(4)
‘Cause through its meaning, mighty things we dare(5).

1 1992 – the year of FIRST’s inception
4 Refers to the singular FIRST logo
5 “Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure, than to rank with those timid spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that knows neither victory nor defeat.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Re: 2005 Regional AVA Winners
 

We planned on having the animation up on our website, but then again things dont turn out how you plan now do they? Our website team is attempting to fix some 'problems' and get it up and good to go.
*rolls eyes* silly website team.

And as for this buisness of me being 'the best.'
Only the winner in 'ATL' gets that title, and there are quite a few Grade 'A' animations out there.

Re: 2005 Regional AVA Winners
 

Yeah I know what you mean about that web team :ahh: Oh I forgot I'm in charge of them too! Anyway... I'm the one they are waiting for, We need to recompress ours and get it posted as well. Hope to have it soon. Look forward to seeing all the winners. Make sure you post a link in the POST AN LINK HERE Thread so we can have one place to look. I will try to ask branden to break out the thread by year so its cleaner.

Re: 2005 Regional AVA Winners
 

We (868) were given the Boilermaker regional AVA... being our first submission (not including the safety animation) and myself being pretty much the only animator, I really didn't consider it a big possibility. I unfortunately wasn't able to attend the judging, so I didn't get to see what we were up against.. but I've seen many other's animations, and most were excellent.

Crazy stuff :ahh:

Re: 2005 Regional AVA Winners
 

Team 116 (Epsilon Delta) won the Chesapeake Regionals ^^.

I think our team has more people on the animation (20+!) than people actually working on the robot XD. It's crazy. I wish I could get the link to the file, but I didn't get a copy of it *cries*. I did the voice -_-.
