Kit of Parts 2013
 

Welcome to the 2013 FRC season.

As of today you should be aware of the competition and are probably formulating ideas and designs as I type!

On Monday morning the Autodesk Inventor 2013 Kit of Parts and a model of the competition field will be posted on the Autodesk Education Community web site. I will also post these files in STEP format so that you can use them with previous versions of Autodesk Inventor. You can open STEP files in any CAD software, so if you are using a CAD application that does not provide a kit of parts these parts will save you a lot of time.

All the best for 2013 and have a great 6 weeks designing and building your robot.

My team still uses 2010, is there going to be 2010 files or is there only step?

Re: Kit of Parts 2013
 

The new parts for the 2013 FRC robot will be in either 2013 or STEP format. The native 2010 Autodesk Inventor kit of parts is still available on the Autodesk Community, so you can easily search for individual parts. I will be posting a video reviewing the KOP and how to search and download 2013 parts or previous versions.

Thanks Phil for all your help, I know everyone really appreciates it!

I was looking for the STEP version of the field, am I overlooking it on the website?

Thanks for posting the Field in STEP as well. We found it. We really appreciate all your help.

I used tried measuring the height from the 2nd to 3rd cross member on the pyramid (see attached) and it was shorter than 30 inches per the rules. Can someone else verify? I downloaded the files from the autodesk website, titled Part Description: FRC 2013 field.

Thanks.

Re: Kit of Parts 2013
 

I will double check the heights and repost tomorrow morning if required. Looking at the rules on page 7 of 11 I see dimensions of 30, 60, 90 and 120 which I will also double-check.

The updated pyramids and field are posted in Autodesk Inventor 2013 and STEP format.

Re: Kit of Parts 2013
 

The pyramid model still looks incorrect to me....there is a new vertical section of pipe that is out of place if I'm to believe the FRC field drawings.

Re: Kit of Parts 2013
 

The Pro/E version of the field appears to have the correct pyramid geometry.

Is the frisbee modeled ? I can not find it in any of the KOP 2013 that I downloaded.

Re: Kit of Parts 2013
 

Actually, does anyone have the entire KOP in .STEP format? Or something Soldiworks can open? The inventor files won't load in Solidworks 2012 and the ProE files throw up an error.
