Unable to import animated meshes from Blender [Incl. Repro]

The problem
Im trying to get a mesh with mesh-deformation animation to play in roblox, and I just cant get anything to work. I have the blender file attached at the bottom for anyone who wants to chech it out.

Here’s my cube, it has a twist animation in blender, seen here:

What I’m doing
I select the mesh, the armature then export as fbx.

As you can see I have both mesh and armature selected.
When I then try to import to roblox I get this message:

Originally it complained about not being able to find root, so I renamed the root bone to “Root” but now it still doesnt find the other bone, what’s up with that? There’s no part named Bone, just a Bone named “Bone”. Bone is suppose to deform the top part of the mesh as seen in the gif.

Anyone have any success doing this in roblox?

Have you tried uploading the right file @PlaceRebuilder? It is probably that you inserted a wrong file that will not be supported with the thing that you are trying to do. I believe some blender files are not compatible with roblox studio, meaning that the thing will fail. I do not recall remembering the type of file that will be compatible with roblox studio in order to play with it.
