Re: How do you feel about how the Auto desk award winners were deiced?
... i didn't like how it was 100% voting, because it ended up being a popularity contest. and not about the work but i think there still should be a vote, keeping the students involved.

Autodesk gets 50% of the input on the winner, and FIRST Robotics students get the other 50%.
This is exactly what i was thinking but with more Autodesk involvement also like the idea of one vote per team it gets rid of big teams having an advantage, the registering process has to be much easier it took a while to register which probably turned people away from voting.

I would like to see regional awards for CAD that would give the little guys a chance.
I like the idea, don't really know how to do it, but maybe something on a smaller scale, like having a best in country .. and maybe because of the number of teams in the US have a best in the region such as "best in New England"
