The way it went this year with autodesk make me want to womit!
I am not an animator. But I do know how much work goes into the Animation! On my old team we have a separate team to do the animation, you can ether do the robot or the animation. Its like a full time job!
First and formost i think that the opinion of 20-50 people at the regionals counts more than that of those 5 or so people at autodesk. Some of the animations won at more than 1 regional which says alot about them. Means people that dont even know that team think that thier animation is supperb to the others.
Did you nothice how autodesk added 2 more animations per a regional in like the 4th week! So now the top 5 teams at each regional we running for the championship. Hmmm well that was nice for all of those teams that were now in. Makes me wonder did autodesk do this because the same animations kept winning (and getting 2nd and 3rd) at the different regionals.
Or maybe they did it because someone they wanted to win didn't win at the regional level and wouldn't advance. I looked hard and it seems to me that 967 was not on any regionals top 3 animations. You would think that it would be one of the regional winners like 1182 WON fair and square 2 regionals. they totaly deserve thier award.
I pretty much think at this point that autodesk is currupt to the max
I am glad i never paid any money for thier software. And I NEVER will.
i think there are teams that deserve the award more: such as 103, 192, 343, 1182, 74, 75. Those teams in public are THE BEST!
I have seen many animations, and there are many that I haven't seen. But I trust the people that voted those animations at more than 1 regional to be the best in thier opinions.
That said GO SolidWorks!
If your oppinion is not the same as mine on this issue and you have a problem with my opinion, i care not!
