Re: Fewer Animations?
Not everyone sees the big picture or the whole picture - including some mentors. It takes patience, determination, and mentoring the mentors in some areas, sometimes. Students can be very wise mentors, sometimes. Animation is a part of the FRC competition along with submission opportunities like the website, the Chairman's, the Woodie Flowers. There are veteran teams who choose not to submit for the Woodie Flowers Award. That one boggles my mind. Anyway - animation may not be understood by a team until someone or a few someones decide(s) that this is the year and make(s) it happen. Then it can become an aha moment and a celebration. An exhausted one, for sure, but a celebration, win, lose, or draw. And the finished animation can be showcased on the website and used for promotion/marketing purposes at demos.
