The animation has always been overshadowed, I just didn't think it would ever go to this level. At the least, we spent two thirds of the time the engineering team did. For the entire competition to be based around robotics, spending a mere 5 minutes dedicated to congratulating the possibly misjudged winners seems rather absurd.
The method of judging them was also faulty. The voting should have been done by professionals, mainly because the students can't be trusted (listen to me). It's likely that their vote could be biased due to their personal taste or just waived towards voting unjustly (such as voting for an animation that's unlikely to win, as to cause the better ones to recieve less votes).
It's probably too late to correct the mistakes the process contained this year, but hopefully this input will make next year's a little more FIRST-like.
