The animation category has always had a low number of entries but those teams do amazing work. I'm glad 116 was able to keep a competition going for animators.

Sadly the website award has suffered a different type of fate.
The website award was also eliminated in 2013 and I would guess at least 10 teams at every regional were submitting website designs (at least 400 websites total).

Websites are a unique way to keep team history and relay the story about FRC. Taking away the website award has reduced the incentive for team's to document.

The social media award is a very different criteria and really does not emphasize on documentation, but more on number of followers.

Given the likely future of non-robot awards, maybe its time for a community driven website award.
