This thread is quickly degenerating into people saying with utmost confidence that team XXX will win. Me personally? I think my team did a hell of a job winning 3 regionals, but I'm still not confident about nationals. Many teams are good, and its best to accept that not everyone has the same opinion about animations.

Lets congratulate others on succeeding, and hope they do well. I'll start off with saying that 25 had a very well made animation both technically and conceptually. It's nice to see them on the list.

Kudos to 192, they had a superb animation which was perhaps ruined by compression artifacts, they deserved to make it in.
It's no different that people say what robot win the championship. I just think they should take the time to look at the other animations before making those decisions (much easier to do for the animatiors than people predicting which robots are best).
That being said I noticed that what FIRST prefers for animation on the National level is a whole different animal from what they prefer on the regional level, which annoys me to no end. Vote one way or the other but don't change the process. I say let the animators vote for it instead of some panel of experts.
