Who won at VCU??? I liked the animation from The Combat* team. I thought it was very original how they set it up.
who won at st louis?
heh…this is terrible…we just now found out that we won 2nd place at St. Louis.
Cybersonics, #103, won again, this time at UTC.
Their animation is certainly awesome. Awesome enough that they quite probably even deserve to win at Nationals.
But I do wonder who’ll win at the NY and Long Island and J&J regionals, eh?
Maybe if I heard that 2nd and 3rd places were different between the two regionals, I wouldn’t feel so bad. It would also help to know whether 2nd and 3rd place were going on to Nats. I emailed the guy in charge of the BAE regional listing concerns from here, and he passed it on to someone at FIRST. They’re doing something about all this, for next year at least. Although Autodesk is adamant about keeping this conference system.
Team 651 won the animation award at the Chesapeake regional. 2nd and 3rd place went to teams 116 and 836.
Royal Assault didn’t take the animation :(, but we did pick up the chairman’s award and “Driving Tomorrow’s Technlogy” 
!
in response to someone’s post about 2nd and 3rd at nats. Yes second and third place, do move on to nationals to be judges. But no qualifying points are earned by even scoring first…so possibily you could win the animation at 5 regionals but because you didn’t have enough qualifying points, you wouldn’t be abel to go down to houston to accept a possible first place trophy.
From what I’ve been able to gather, these are the winners of the Animation Awards at Regionals so far:
BAE Systems Granite State Regional: 1st-103 2nd-? 3rd-?
Buckeye Regional: 1st-1038 2nd-? 3rd-?
NASA/VCU regional: 1st-343 2nd-? 3rd-?
Sacramento Regional: 1st-192 2nd-100 3rd -114
St. Louis Regional: 1st-? 2nd-74 3rd-?
Arizona Regional: 1st-192 2nd-? 3rd-?
Chesapeake Regional: 1st-651 2nd-116 3rd-836
Pittsburgh Regional: 1st-? 2nd-? 3rd-?
UTC New England Regional: 1st-103 2nd-? 3rd-?
Does anyone know who won at Pittsburgh and/or St. Louis, and also 2nd & 3rd places at any of the Regionals with question marks?

Cybersonics, Team 103
Team 75 won 2nd place at UTC, yay.
Just checked FIRST’s site and found that awards for each regional are now being listed:

They’re only posting first place winners for Animation, tho’…:o
How can a team win an award at one regional if they are competing at another one???
Yet again the winner was 103 at NYC but their team was at another regional this weekend, I don’t know which one off hand, but I just don’t understand?!?!
Can someone clarify this for me?

FIRST seriously screwed this one up.

dude, how else are they supposed to do it? Some regionals would only have like one or two animations if they did it regional by regional. Autodesk has said that they are adamant about this system staying in place because of this. They obviously have put a lot a though into how this works, and seriously, it just gives you more chances to win.
On another note, We won it at Great Lakes!!! Our team is not competing there but we were there to do scouting!!! Anyone who was there probably saw the 5 members of our team who were there run down and grab the trophy!!!
I just saw the awards for St. Louis, and it looks like 1182 is our biggest competitor b/c they took first at st. louis and got an “honorably mention”(2nd or 3rd, it doesnt say) at Great Lakes.
Actually, 103 was not competing at all this weekend. The conference system was devised by Autodesk. Once you enter your animation at a regional your team attends, you automatically compete at all regionals in that conference.

Oh and if anyone feels that this is just a personal attack on teams that win this way or Team 103 in particular just because my team didn’t win, that is not the case at all. My team did not enter an animation this year. But if we had, I would be saying the same thing that I am now…
The system they have in place for this is just weird and needs to change. IMHO.
Elgin,
No offense taken. The system has confused many along the way, including our team.
At the NYC regionals Team 522 ROBOWIZARDS! took first and couldn’t do it without our alliance Team 694 StuyPulse and Team 421 Alfred E. Smith High School. Thanks Guys!!! Great job.
