Finally got this up here, with help of the 12 Mbps upload speed I found. So far it's just the 3D pdf, the STEP and zip were still too big (same problem as before). I'll keep trying.

Edit: Browsers appear not to be the issue, although trying it in Firefox and IE revealed that the upload is definitely being cut off midway... So it looks like a timeout or max upload time problem.

I have never stopped having the upload issues I was having originally (even on this 28 Mbps upload network), so as I should have a long time ago, I've uploaded all three files (3d pdf, .zip, .step) to https://netfiles.umn.edu/users/siekm008/Shared/2011Robot/. It took about 3 seconds...

Hey i was looking to get a closer look to the minibot, but there's 1 small problem, no minibot with the CAD files. Could you please up load it, it would be very much appreciated

[Aren Siekmeier]

The minibot, unfortunately, was the part of the robot's performance that we kind of neglected this year. As such, the one we competed with at North Star was a kind of crappy, quickly thrown together slow thing that worked, but nothing more. And we never CADed it, which was both the cause and the result of its shoddiness. For the Championship, we worked at a faster, sleeker one (that needless to say, would have been CADed), but we ended up borrowing one from 931. Being totally honest, this was a huge disappointment for me this season, seeing the potential for building our own minibot that would have been a champ (cuz after all, it was extremely easy) even before our rather late week 5 regional, but then not having enough commitment from the team after the robot shipped to get anything done.

In short, no CAD file. Sorry. If you can track down a CAD of 931's minibot(s), that's what you're looking for.

Ahhhh ok, soundS like my team right now, trying to get a minibot done. But thanks for the info.
