This is not a popularity contest, it is meant to allow the public to input their honest opinion about which one is the best. Vote on the entries, not the people who made the entries. Sorry, that line just rubbed me the wrong way.

Once again though, congrats.
I understand your concern and yes you should vote for the best one. However I can say is this. If your team is up on the top five would you not think that your animation is the best up there? Obviously you want yours to win and hopefully your team is backing you up.

In a perfect world every student on the FIRST community will go on first base and vote for the animation or inventor that they think is the best and the winner will be rewarded his or her well deserved reward.

Now let me tell you how reality works. 80-90% of the students in the FIRST community do not even know that they are suppose to vote for the animations on FIRSTbase. When told that they should, mainly have trouble creating an account under their team name because they need a code that was given to their head team mentor. Durring the competition in Atlanta is the only way these students will find out about voting and by that time they will have some trouble getting the code from their leader because of everything that goes on in Atlanta. How do these students find out that they have to vote? Because an animation team is going around campaigning for them to vote on the animations.

I know other animation teams out there are grouping together and voting on the top five. There may be animation teams that are not in the top five that are organizing their entire team to vote on the top five. But thats not everyone. There are still votes that you can get from campaigning in Atlanta.

You may not agree with this but this is exactly how it was last year. The top five animations are in a race, a race to get the most votes. I'm not dissing any teams, I'm not bashing the system I am giving the top five animations a heads up of whats to come.

I will be in Atlanta getting people to vote on the animations. So the final result will not be bias.
