My team didn't make the final cut so I'm picking from the pool of finalist. I liked that animation from the first time I saw it and I'm not changing that opinion because some people think that it's unfair. |

Re: Championship - Final Round Animations
Now I wonder how the First Round of Professional Judging picked the animations that didn't win Regionals. Obviously they didn't pick a second animation for every Regional (56 total - 33 regional winners = 23 animations) but looked at all of them and chose another top two dozen or so. Does anyone know? Whether Autodesk had to have 56 animations for the national competition or was it more like, nominate all of the good animations that didn't win Regionals?

If I posted that Team 5 was by far the best robot out there, I would be saying that other teams are mediocre, or even poor in comparison. This can easily be percieved as an insult. Please don't take this the wrong way. I'm not asking you to censor your opinions or change them. I understand that you're presenting it as an opinion, but the way it is said seems to insult other teams. I know this is not your intention, but it is percieved in that manner. Quote:
Perhaps they have the judges do a quick scoring of all the animations, and then declare a certain cutoff threshold. This seems like the best and most fair way to do this. I doubt student scores are used in this process, as the documents received declared that the first round of judging was to be professional. As for animation, I'm very happy for all teams who were chosen, all of us put in an inordinate amount of time and effort - and that making it on the list is a stellar achievement. |

Re: Championship - Final Round Animations
Can someone please post the winners of the AVA competition after they're announced? It turns out that I won't be able to watch the webcast of the event after all. I heard that the announcement time is tentatively 8:45am tomorrow, sometime during the opening ceremony. It'd be 5:45am local time for me. >__< I doubt I have enough willpower to wake up that early anyways.

Re: Championship - Final Round Animations
I would like to know as well. I may be able to watch parts of the openening ceremony during my 3rd period Comp. Graphics class, but that doesn't start until 9:00 am, and I was having trouble getting the webcast to play properly on the school computers

Re: Championship - Final Round Animations
I see 234 made the list even though they did not win a Regional animation award. Good luck guys! It figures that the year after I leave, Autodesk and FIRST allow animations that didn't win regionally to be judged for the Championship level award

Congratulations to all the teams coming home with an award this year.

It would be interesting to know what exactly the judges are looking for in winning submissions. If anything, it proves we still have plenty to learn ![]() |

Re: Championship - Final Round Animations
For the last few years - Ever since peer Judging was introduced, Autodesk has been sending extra animations to the Finals (non-regional-winners). In year number one of Peer Judging, the rule was winner and runner-up, in addition to those people they sent more. This year was the first year that they actually did it legally-- Meaning they put it in the rules.
I always stated that it was the right thing to do, because a tough competition in one regional and weak competition in another regional will result in weak animations winning weak regionals and possible 2 or 3 good runner-ups from a strong regional (animation competition wise) being out of the mix at the Championships. I am just a stickler for the rules- otherwise, dont have rules! If you take a look at the rules, its all there... this year! Also- The Professional/Final Round Judging are supposed to judge by the same criteria as the peer judging. But some times I don't know what they are actually looking at. No offence- Lots of people feel that way year after year. A couple years ago the team didn't even have animation for most of their submission and presto- they won! Go figure.
