Re: RIP in Peace Dozer

If anyone noticed the robots also had the old control systems as the electrical system. If they make the robots more realistic why not include the new control system.

Re: RIP in Peace Dozer

We need Dave's animations back!!!

This new animation looks, to be honest, quite low quality. It was also super confusing. I've never appreciated the old animation style for its clarity until it disappeared

My first thought was to connect these to our robot in memory of him. Others are welcome to do the same in an attempt to bring him back

You're right, I just missed Dozer and the other whimsical robots because they were cute, familiar, and made me feel warm and fuzzy inside, but this animation was definitely more confusing. However, that might also be a function of the game being more confusing with all the scoring options, and things to do.

Yeah, I was sad when I saw the animation wasn't done the same as it has been for a long time. I was quite fond of those animations, and Dave, if appreciation was at all lacking for those animations, here you go! They will be missed along with the beloved Dozer!

I do hope he comes back next year. But he'd be perfect for totes--he pushes and has no bumpers!

Re: RIP in Peace Dozer

Even if Dave doesn't want to do it any more, I feel the models and style should be passed on to an apprentice. It simply doesn't feel like FRC without that animation.

I think the disappearance of Dozer is related to the fact that people refuse to call him by his real name.

He then goes off and sulks in the corner for the entire afternoon, and it takes an enormous amount of coaxing to get him to settle down and play nicely with the other construction equipment. So please, for the sake of small blue bulldozers everywhere, let's put an end to this Dozer/Plowie confusion, and just use his proper name.

It's probably more related to the animation not being done by Dave Lavery.
