Team 21 - ComBBAT Marches On!

Here is Team 21's animation entry for 2002.
It requires the DivX codec, which you can easily get from www.divx.com
I hope to see some more teams' entries posted here!

Cool

Ha ha ha. I love old 1950's newsreel films. They are so commical and you guys pulled it off well. Too bad you have to submit in Cinepak, I am not sure how it will look with the black and white gradients.

Um, nice animation and idea, but did you know you went over the time limit by 1 or 1.5 seconds. Also, check out a preview of ours robot.mbhs.edu/Team 449 Teaser.avi

I would love to see your robot at the competition. I am curious to see how the fall affects your robot.

I appreciate the concern, mad3d, but I beg to differ. The animation may end about 31 seconds into the .avi, but it doesn't start right at the beginning. Look at a clock, and count from the beginning of the sound to the end of the sound.

Nevermind... I was probably too tired at the time. Sorry. I like the animation, looks good!

I liked your idea. Did you use lighting to achieve that newsreel crackle effect? One thing though, how does it describe what FIRST means to your team?

The crackle effect was achieved by using Adobe After Effects (shhh), and the appealing aspect we went with was simply Competition. (We're glad all 4 robots aren't on the same alliance anymore.)
