The animation of the game is AMAZING O.o FRC and FTC should get animations like that.

I honestly prefer the FIRST animations.
I'm not a fan of the flying robots.

Anyway, after the first day, here's all the ranking info I have (from our team members in Florida):
254A is 7-0 and is ranked first.
254A is first in Robot Skills Challenge
254S is second in Robot Skills Challenge

Anyone else have more info?

Sounds like you guys are doing pretty good.

Good luck 254!

The animation was done by this kid, he won last year's animation challenge so IFI asked him to do it this year.

Hi guys, my name is Cody Smith. I was given the amazing opportunity to create the 2009-2010 Vex game animation after winning the "Design a Game Animation" online challenge with my submission, Tetra Triad.

Both animations can be found on my company website: http://Polynomic3D.com/gallery.php5

I worked through the entire summer to put Clean Sweep together with very few resources and next to no help. I know that there were a few issues with that animation, most of them were due to a last minute crisis.

Thanks so much for your support!

I was purposely told, by IFI, to make robots that could complete the challenge but would not give away potential designs. I am not a fan of FIRST's plunger and/or boot kicker robots. I attempted to combine realistic looking robots with unrealistic mechanisms so that both my client and the viewers would be happy.

I still owe you that cookie! I was volunteering at the Disney event, lots of fun and overall the competitions went rather well.
