How do you feel about how the Autodesk award winners were decided?

I'm in favor of the split-scoring system. Autodesk first selects 5/10 finalists for each award. The Autodesk judges each get an input, and the voters/peer scorers get a certain input. The weighting of each input is evaluated by Autodesk.
The criteria should be technical in nature, but beautiful graphics, marketing, and detail should play a role as well. In reality, you don't only have to create your design, you have to market it. Your design may be perfect, but if a/your company doesn't want to make it, it's worthless.

the idea of the award is not to try to sell anything. inventor is a program to help design a product not sell it. Agreed, detail and ''pritty colors" are important for the business/ marketing end but in my opinion aren't nessissary to the drawing. i believe the most accurate representation of the team's robot should "win"
