Teams,
[Below is what I posted to the Autodesk Streamline site. Please note we actually received 89 entries, not 100.]
We received nearly 100 entries this year! This is a tremendous response and double the entries from 2005. Everyone should be proud of what they accomplished, especially in the 6 week timeframe with the pressure of not just designing but building your robots as well.
In an effort to be more objective about the scoring, we rated all entries on a host of factors, each contributing to the total score of 100, with 10 potential bonus points for Animations. We had 15 judges look at all 100 entries, and at least 3 judges look at the teams which passed the first round.
We encourage you to take a look at each other's designs. How did one team use sheetmetal? How did one team layout their website? Should you use Inventor Studio to demonstrate a function of the robot? These are the kinds of questions and challenges we pose for next year.
In all, great year, and congratulations to the winners!
