I remember our rookie year, me and my tech teacher drew up a storyboard for our animation that I thought was really impressive/innovative. Basically it start off with the robot being constructed, you flipped a switch and it spun tire leaving a smoke trail off the school, followed it down a road and onto the highway, it burst through 2 swinging doors into the arena, hits a ramp into the field, throws some balls in the goals, and then you see it spin tire again, and on the field it left something like "Team 870, Coming To a Zone Zeal near you!".
That is an example of an animation that i'm sure everyone would like to see. Unfortunately we had to scrap this idea, since I was the only one doing the animation, and had to concentrate more on building the actual robot then animation. It was a good idea though
