yes and no
first, autodesk will take care of having a tape at every regional that is in your 'region'. In this region your animation will be judged at every regional. Last year we only attended West Michigan and Midwest, but won at Great Lakes. So you have ot chance of winning 5 or 6 times, and it is always a different group of judges. It is the same VHS tape that is shown in a private room and judged. However, some teams will find out that their animation looks terrible on TV. If this happens its always nice to have a back-up VHS or CD with you just in case. Also alot of teams that are on ChiefDelphi sometimes will come up to you and ask to see your animation. It happened about 6 times last year for us, and it also lets you show others how you created your product.
Basically, just leave everything to autodesk, but make sure that you're covered in case something goes wrong.
