We are a seperate room but we are connected. I understand if you are not in adjoining rooms- that is difficult to concure. But in the past our animators were as well known and respected on the team because they were involved. They would be at the work tables with tape measures getting dimentions and design info for the animations. They often finished the design on the computer before the builders finished. This year we didn't have our Robot in the animation and that didnt detract from our guys being involved. Every one of the animators were known, liked and respected on the team.

in our case the adjoining computer room is also where the Web designers work (which I also oversee) and most of the computer work from Cad to newsletter to pre-competition scouting (from the web) all took place. So there was a flow of traffic of involved people. And the interest was generated so even those that didnt need computers still took 5-min every now and then to see what was going on.

The more you keep them informed the more they may be curious. We were part of the weekly team meetings as part of the team updates/progess reports. We also had roughed out the animation at verious timed to work on the timing of the Voice and the cuttaway sections- so we actually had stuff to show people that were interested.
