Animators, website designers and cad designers (and Woodie Flowers nominies) work just as hard as any person who has worked on the robot and do not deserve the insult FIRST has put forward to them. This is an outrage and FIRST owes every single animator, website designer, CAD designer a written apology!!!

Those are some pretty harsh words; it surprises me (and makes me a little sad) to see this post coming from you, Ed.
Thursday, Friday, Saturday ... whenever; Animimators/web designers/CAD people
are recognized for their work. There are plenty of aspects of FIRST that are recognized solely by a round of applause, if that. You don't see FIRST giving awards for the "best team travel coordinator", "best public relations crew", or "best parent organization" but without the people involved in this part of FIRST, most teams would not exist. Yet these people keep doing what they're doing without being recognized.
Be gracious; at least there is an animation competition.
