Thanks everyone
Our animation team worked their butts off this year. I am very proud of all the hard work they put in.

The winning animation was amazing and adorable! Pixar should be knocking on Team 1671's door any minute now!

And congratulations to Cyber Blue! My team wished that they had taken a few more seconds with your presentation. Showing one CAD image followed by 3-4 photos of the robot from completely different perspectives did nothing to show the audience what made it the winning entry. I'm sure there was a wow factor in there somewhere, but it remained a mystery to us. Are the designs made available so that teams that struggle with this area can learn from the experts?

Yes. If you go here, and login, you can download all the files. There's a ZIP file, a DWF, and a PDF. Also, if you have any specific questions about it, I would be happy to answer them.

I recommend everyone take a look at the PDF especially - It becomes immediately obvious why 234 took home this award. Their documentation is very detailed and it goes further in-depth than any of the other entries in my opinion. Great job Cyber Blue!

Thank you! We're just glad we had the opportunity to share our design process and the implementation of it with the FIRST community.

Wow - 1671's animation is awesome. I can see why it won. Great look, animation, audio, timing. They've got real talent on that team!

Has anyone found an Autodesk link announcing the 2 winners? All I can find is the finalists announcement.
