Our animstion is 100 % student built.

Although I led the team of 7 people, 3 people are the ones who actually 'touched' the animaton file.
I, also a human player, did about 40%. Eddy, also the MAIN electrical guy, did about 40%. Patrick did about 20%.
I helped out with the Robot as well. Eddy is just the major major guy in programming and electrical stuff.

This project by its trait is not possible with a lot of people working on it.

And you mentioned 'learning experience.'
Is it true that some schools have their animation DONE by the engineers?
I mean...I know we don't do that. I know Gunn (Daniel and Kyle) doesn't do that, right?
I find this very frustrating. They should have some kind of rule that includes regulations on the participation of experts.

This project took over 500 hours os MY time. Who knows how much it is when combined with other people on the team. Probably over 1500 hours.

I just hope that judges didn't think 'oh..Team 115 did a good animation. But their robot was only 190th,' and ditched us.

PS: Mike! I can't see your video. I tried it with Media Player 2. Should I get real player? This is weird because I can play other RM files.
