I took a few hours tonight to download and watch a couple of the animations that were posted on this site, Wow.... never have i seen such well done animations.

The two that i looked at were those of teams 288 and 188. Wow, team 288's field was simpley amazing. Detailed and very realistic looking... i could have mistaken it for a video. The robot and animation of the robot driving around was smooth and detailed. I especially liked the zoom in part on your gyro chip. Very nicely done.

Team 188's animation stunned me when i watched it.... It seriously looked like it was professionally... the graphics were detailed... very colorful. The two little robotic arms that came out were definitely a highlight of the animation... Amazing job on the modeling of the robot, and the music made the entire thing come together.

Wow... Great job guys... i can't wait to watch more of these... Please post links to them if they are on the web!!!

Nice job, RoboDawgs. Great models, scene, and lighting. Some very nice motion, and if I'm not mistaken, some depth of field too? Even some decent music that isn't ripped off of the soundtrack to "The Matrix" (heh, too many of them types last year). Very cool to watch.

Just a minor correction, Blizzard is team 188; RoboDawgs would be 288.

I'm glad you guys liked our team's animation. You have our amazing animation team headed by Zaid M. to thank for that. Thanks for all the comments.
