Soukup is on a distinguished road
here's some food for thought. I was reading another thread where somone was saying robot construction was harder than animation. Fine it is, I don't care. But think about this....I've been involved in robotics for 4 years and have gone to 6 regionals thus far (another two this year). As I think back, I can remember every single public speaker that we've ever had at a regional. I have never once even heard of one of these speakers mentioning animation...never. Even Some of the FIRST directors brush of the animations as well. For the 3 years I've done animation I can never remember even Dean (no offense) talking about animation. Why is that animation is cast aside? Is it because we don't work as hard? Is it because we won't have an impact in the world? Is it because this really isn't what FIRST is about?

Sorry I'm really pissed right now. I spent more hours than a can count on this project as well as spending my own money to make a good animation and to have my product dealt with this kind of respect (even if it isn't going to win) is a shot in the nuts. Literally.
