Rofl!!!!!!!!
You crack me up. Maybe what you need to understand is that a lot of teams (including mine) do not have engineers or professionals to help us. Two years ago I taught myself 3ds max with a Pentium II 400 mgz computer. From there I was able to raise my own team of what was 14 people (before others were needed for the robot) lets see assembly teams do that!
Trust me, I know how to do manufacturing, and I know 3d modeling programs. i have machined parts for our robot before, and I have seen programs and I know that it is not easy, we all put tons of work in. However you guys that build robots get most of the credit as we can see with the awards. But look at how many hours animators put in compared to people working on the robot! I was at the build every day working basically every hour that I was there, I took it home and worked on it at 4 am and I busted my tail off.

Maybe you should try to animate before you go shooting off about how building a robot is so much harder. Oh, and if you can't tell, I took a lot of offense to that comment.
