Yes, you should download the Real Player. I aggree that there should be many more ground rules set on animation. If you ask me the animation rules are very sketchy. Our animation is 100% done by students also.

: Our animstion is 100 % student built.

: Although I led the team of 7 people, 3 people are the ones who actually 'touched' the animaton file.
: I, also a human player, did about 40%. Eddy, also the MAIN electrical guy, did about 40%. Patrick did about 20%.
: I helped out with the Robot as well. Eddy is just the major major guy in programming and electrical stuff.

: This project by its trait is not possible with a lot of people working on it.

: And you mentioned 'learning experience.'
: Is it true that some schools have their animation DONE by the engineers?
: I mean...I know we don't do that. I know Gunn (Daniel and Kyle) doesn't do that, right?
: I find this very frustrating. They should have some kind of rule that includes regulations on the participation of experts.

: This project took over 500 hours os MY time. Who knows how much it is when combined with other people on the team. Probably over 1500 hours.

: I just hope that judges didn't think 'oh..Team 115 did a good animation. But their robot was only 190th,' and ditched us.

: PS: Mike! I can't see your video. I tried it with Media Player 2. Should I get real player? This is weird because I can play other RM files.
