I agree that the flag is going too fast, relative to the magnitude of the sandstorm. The sad thing is we did not figure that out till the very last hour. One point that dlavery pointed out is "If the flag is flapping that fast, then you would have a major sand storm blowing around it as well - one so strong that you probably wouldn't be able to see anything else." I want to emphasize the Martian environment by adding sandstorm and a windy environment, but I put too much wind to it. Oops. It's definitely something that I can change. I'm surprise that it makes a huge difference though. I thought this is just a tiny thing that is hard to notice. Thanks for pointing that out.

I think our message did not bring out strongly to people. We were thinking that since this year's robotics game has to do with breaking the wall of crates, why don't we make our animation so it's about breaking the barriers to achieve success. We were working on it, but it was lacking of explaining. If there is someone explaining what is happening, the animation will relate to FIRST more. That's definitely something important that we are missing.
