Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST Announces 2010 Autodesk

It looks like the changes they did are very inconvenient for FIRST and FIRST mentors. That might sound a little harsh but that is what it looks like.

If you are just any school teacher you can suppossedly authorize student to download which is good.

Mentor management of the system doesn't seem to be supported which is bad.

It just became another issue for mentors to transfer to the teachers that already have enough to do.

EDIT: I just checked the Autodesk FAQ, item #4 - It states you have to be a faculty or a student in order to participate. That means mentors are excluded and that makes me exceptionally unhappy because it is the mentors that spend the bulk of the time working with students and need access to help them. I hope this is just an oversight and not an intentional move.
