Hangin'-A-Round Animation

[Kevin Thorp]

Wow - thanks for all the compliments gang. That sorta make all those late nights worth it! It appears we achieved our goal of making the rules understandable to newbies, friends & family members.

The Vex narrator's voice is mine. I couldn't find a professional announcer who was willing to work for free at 1:00 am. Our 2 safety animation narrators were Mike Conroy (graduated in '06) and Bill Epperson (class of '07).

Dave Lavery does an outstanding job with the FRC animations each year but because they are broadcast live they must be kept very short to fit the Kickoff agenda.

I don't think there's a problem of burning DVDs to send to sponsors but I'll check with the FIRST people (or perhaps they can chime in here).

In the next week or so we should have a revised version posted. Just few minor changes:

• A countdown timer visible during the entire match
• Highlight the goal/robot when a score is added up
• Display the scores a few seconds longer
