Only have 8? We're still running version 7 on our teams PCs. I didn't even know they had come out with a newer version than 8.


I think they need to modify either the rules about what software you can use to allow for other programs that may run better for some or make some version of 3Ds Max that is FIRST specific and/or low requirements (As I recall they did something like this for making video game mods). I'm sure a good portion of teams don't have access to the kinds of super computers these things are starting to require, and are thus left out of the animation aspect of the competition.
