I don't know where the station is going to be placed at this moment (venue layout is still being decided upon).
As I've never done the animation portion of FIRST, what have other regionals done to make sure that the animation process is organized, from what you've seen? I'm thinking more signs directing where students to go but what are some specific ideas that you would like?
If you have any suggestions, I'll make sure they make it to the committee.
Thanks,
Ben

The other Regional that my team has been to is the Pacific Northwest one, but its animation judging was even worse than the situation in Sacramento Regional.
Something that would make the Sacramento animation competition better is providing schedule and map of when and where the animation peer judging will be along with (or even on) the main program schedule when all of the teams check in to the Pit. Affirming that someone who *knows* how the judging will be carried out from Autodesk or a proxy thereof will show up at the proper time (and announced!) is also a very good idea. Last year's Pacific NW Regional had a proxy who had "absolutely no clue" even on how the voting system worked.
One of my teammates also suggested that the food provided could've been better, but I don't think you can do much about what they sell and how much they tell it for in the concession stands, right?

My team will be staying in the Super 8 Motel in Dixie, which is roughly...seven miles away from Davis, I think.
