Explaining the game is an important element of kickoff. A few extra minutes of well produced animation might be a better use of the limited kickoff broadcast time.

And there's the practical element of the fact that Dave is one guy, he already participates in the FRC GDC, the timeline he has for an animation is shorter, he runs an FRC team, he oversees ALL NASA team grants, He's at a regional playing multiple roles nearly every week of the season, the same goes for the Championship, and he's got something called a job that takes up a little time too ...

So let's just celebrate and congratulate Kevin on a fine FVC product.

But why does Dave have to be the only one that works on the animation?

Very observant 6 yr old. I've got a warehouse full of sweeper bots out back. I guess I grabbed the wrong color for the photo shoot...

Now that's a sight I'd love to see in wallpaper size.

(By the way, my room's a little messy right now--what's the going rate for one of those sweepers?)

Awesome job guys. This animation is top notch and will be perfect for explaining the game to anyone.

Although, one thing I noticed was that the final score of the match didn't include the scores from the autonomous mode. Maybe this should be fixed?

The 10 pt. bonus for winning autonomous was included. I think the final match scoring is correct as shown.

My mistake.
