All I want is some recognition from FIRST that Science and Technology is actually involved in what we do. It pretty hard to do an animation with out Computers (at least for this competition) Last I checked that involved Technology and Science (Physics, Biology, Computer Science, Programming, etc.)
So I'd love to see someone follow through on geetign our Ideas Implemented.
Part of the problem is that FIRST considers this an AUTODESK Competition and not truely part of FIRST. And that is stated by FIRST and AUTODESK.
Lots of luck- I'm trying to do the same on my end. You all have great Ideas just keep pushing.

I hear you. And I promise to pass on your comments. You have some solid examples of ways how this should not be done. Do me a favor, and take your post, edit it a bit, SLAP IT DOWN, and email it to me.

I will make sure that your experiences (and even better would be to also include a list of ways to make this better for all) and I will make sure that the right person at FIRST and at autodesk gets it. This will not happen until after the Championship, because everyone is up to their eyeballs right now. But during the team forum period, probably in May-June, it will get passed on. I promise.
