the animation teams of F.I.R.S.T. animation teams are under appreiciated!

man, last year our animation team (lead by me ) put in about 750 hours of work, and thats only 3 guys!

this year, we have already put in about 36hrs of work each, and we will probly put in a a total of 1500 hours.

i think they should widen the animation comp. so there are reigonal winners and such. what do you think?

Unhappy True indeed.

That would be even nicer for us rookies than it would be for more experienced modelers.

Hell, I am our animation team and I've put about half as many manhours in as the rest of the robot crew combined. Regional awards are a good thing.

Yes, Animation is very under appreciated. Because we work on computers and only occasionally come to see the robot we are automatically marked as doing nothing.

This question and answer was posted on the Yahoo group (FRC engineers) website.

Q: Also, another question came up at my school. On how many computers we are allowed to install the software we received with our kit of parts?

A: The software you've been granted from Microsoft and Autodesk is a single-machine license. One machine, one copy. Not a server. Installing the software on multiple machines is a copyright violation. If your team / school would like a site license or server license, please contact the respective vendors.


Hope this helps

my team starts out with about 7-8 people interested in animation. Then everybody but 3 people leave. This year all these people want some insane ideas that are virually impossible to do in 30secs nevermind actually animating it. In terms of ideas, the people that actually animate should have a larger say than those that want off-the-wall ideas. When the robot is done, robot meetings stop. Animation people keep going every night. Regional animation comps would be great. Judges would only have to pick 1 animation out of 40 not 400. winners would then be judged on a national level. Sort of like what they are doing with the chairmans award this year.

Our team is actually pretty supportive of our animation team. Though we may be small (4 members) we were still able to pull of a national award last year. We are also the only part of our team that is completely run by students.

i'm of a rookie team and it has been just hard egnough to learn the software much less doing a 30-second animation with only really 2 people working on it, i am one of those two and i'm been busy with the robot and animation so i see it both views, yhea the animators need more respect and help... we can easlily get help on the robot but the animation seems to be the one thing that is gunna be the hardest, at least we have until march.... then maybe i can start to change my hours of sleep to less then 4 to maybe a full night sleep... it's not easy being a new team...
