Apparently Autodesk has not released the criteria yet. Their web site (
http://firstbasefrc.autodesk.com/?nd=competition) says "The criteria for the 2008 Autodesk Design Competition will be available in January 2008." and
nothing further. I have just used their "feedback" link
(
http://firstbasefrc.autodesk.com/?nd=form__1) to ask when they'll release the criteria. I suggest you send them a polite inquiry too.
Last year started-off the same way. If I recall correctly, it was several days after kickoff until the criteria were published.
