Re: Fewer Animations?
375's animation team was started by myself and a friend when we were in our sophomore year of high school. We self taught ourselves and since then the team has submitted an animation every single year without the help of a mentor that had any knowledge of the program before we came along.
The animation component of FRC has, at least in our school, brought in students to the team that might otherwise not have been interested in making a robot. But from the animation they branched out to making a website and this year assisting in making our Chairman's Award video.
In addition, this year the head of our animation team is also going to be part of the drive crew.
I definitely think doing the animation is worthwhile as it leads students to be creative and also to learn a new skill that will definitely be useful should they move on to a technical career after high school and college.
