What a Joke

Lev,

I agree with everything you said. I too was excited when I heard that they would have regional animation winners. Then when we got to VCU, I couldn't believe it when they said "Each team should select one student volunteer to judge the animations."
First of all students should not be judging these animations.
Second, they only wanted one student from each team. I noticed your team had 3 students judging the animations which even though that's not what they wanted, would have been a litte better than one.
Third. when we submitted the animation we had to check which conference we were in depending on the Regional we were going to attend. The South Conference had 4 regionals in it. Did all those regionals view the same animations? If so, how do we know if we won at the other regionals?
As far as the order, I agree there was no rhyme or reason to the order of the animations on the tape and some were repeated before some were even shown.
I know it's not all about winning but it is about being inspired. How could a student be inspired when they see that FIRST doesn't care about the animation portion? I had 13 students who worked an average of about 80 hours on our animation. That's a lot of time to spend on something that gets no respect.
I hope FIRST will hear our voices and do something in the future.
