Last year, our Animation lead transitioned into another leadership role during the build season.

I expect we'll do similar this year - good leaders can adapt to different roles. (He even threw some of his animation prowess into the job, putting together an animated demo of the bridge manipulator in 3DS Max).

I hope your students can make the most of it.

Have your Animation Lead start working on something to show in your pits. He can animate the history of the team, how you do outreach, how you choose your design, or many other aspects of what you do. Find a way to mount a monitor to your pit and show it. Also put it on your website. He could also animate something for your Chairmans Video.
