Shafted again

[Paul Copioli]

Some teams don't even use max at all, and render straight from maya, and then re-construct with some other video editing program to hide the video signature.

Don't you see this as a problem? Why do you have to hide the video signature? IF the steel industry sponsored the design award, would I have to hide the fact that I am using aluminum? I am grateful that Autodesk is sponsoring FIRST, but let's allow any animation to be submitted (and win) not just those composed in #DS. Same with the Inventor award. C'mon, it's called the Inventor Award, not the Solid Modeling Award for Pete's sake.
