Soukup is on a distinguished road
here's an idea that I thought of now that I wish we would have done.

Originally last year we thought of an idea to have a camera fly through a city and show engineering acheivments of first. Well this started in may/june. We thought it would be done by kickoff. In november, we switched our idea to something more FIRST-related. This meant we had about 4 monthes of stuff we couldn't use.

Thus My idea for anyone thinking of starting early....... make robot parts. This gives you awesome practice and gives you models that will surely be able to be used. If you already made awesome robot parts, then make a playing field. The playing field outlines have been pretty uniform for a couple of years...It's a safe bet they'll look similar next year. After that...then start working on universal models that could apply to your animation in anyway.

As for the person that had the idea of a crowd. We tried that in a b*tching stadium and unless you have some massive graphics power....forget it. Your computer won't be able to handle it.

Well that's my advice...hope that evryone has fun next year.
