I think this is a good place to discuss this topic.

I hate to see the contest go. I hope another company or organization will step in to sponsor 3D animation. Probably too late for this year.

This is really unfortunate, especially for long-standing and highly organized animation groups. I know several teams, like 103 and 116, took as much pride in their animation efforts as they did in their robots. It's a real shame that FIRST no longer explicitly values computer animation as an inspirational tool.

We finally got a group together to tackle animation. We just finished our safety submission. Now I have to tell them there isn't anything else for them to compete in. Sad, really.
