Um...did you look at our animation?
I think I saw all the animations there before the practice rounds started.
I, personally, think mine is the best of all.
I thought we were supposed to show the ROBOT working and scoring.
Although I admit that my animation is a little hasty, it was the nly way to 'display' that my robot is going to do well.
What's up with the robot gridning down the rail? (That winning animation)
and that Autodesk Lady was like 'that spark is so hard to do!!!'
I am not sure..But you can probably get plug-ins, maybe even make one, for that kind of effect.
They should make us submit the animation file.
Our robot animation file is perfectly constructed. If you turn the axle of our globe motor, our gripper activates. Our chains and drill motors turn (using path deform) as the wheels turn.
We actually have floppies on the animation. And they do not go through the robot when robot hits them. (Space warps)
We have 4 robots that are modeled to the detail of tiny screws and coiled springs. (two evil robots, ours, and our last year's robot.)
Enough of our animation.
Go get it...
