Talking Re: How do you feel about how the Auto desk award winners were deiced?

I think it is completely up to Autodesk. Not because it's their award or that they give so much money to FIRST (which is absolutely amazing by the way). But how Autodesk decides to judge awards will inenvertantly change the products of the award. This affects nobody but the company themselves, and by allowing students to vote for the Inventor winner, we are changing our audience from engineers and designers we have never met, to our peers and fellow Firsters. We are now not trying to impress engineers but students and common people who are coincedentally the audience for Autodesk. In essence what I'm saying is, this may be a positive change for both Autodesk and the award's growth.

P.S. I apologize for mispellings I just got out of a Physics Graded Review.
