So is anyone able to go on the peer voting website?

Is anyone able to go on http://autodesk-firstanimation.skild.com/peerVoter.do without getting error 500?
i guess autodesk is not a company of security professionals or website operators.
I sure hope their database has no crashed and all oour voting and animations deleted…

Voting closed March 2, so my guess is they just took down that area. I’m sure the high quality .movs are still on the server somewhere. What was presented for voting seemed to be more compressed (and degraded) than I remember our original.

problem is they said on the site: come back after march 3rd to socialize, and they promised we would get to see the other regional videos.

also, on the submission site, they actually said we submission has ended while this is left with just an ambiguous error 500?!!?

Hi -

The FIRST Robotics 2011 Autodesk Award for Excellence in 3D Animation public site is finally open!

More than 160 teams from high schools across North America (and a few outside of!) submitted animations for the “Change Their World” challenge featuring our Autodesk “iiko” character, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results!

We hope you enjoy the submissions as much as we did, you can view them all here: http://autode.sk/h92Pni

Best Regards,
