Awesome! One question, where do you buy your paint-on urethane?

My boss at Bosch told me about this first thing this morning. (He's a FIRST mentor as well.) This is some pretty cool stuff to get to look at. Thanks for all that you do to further the competitiveness of the FIRST program.

Jackpot!!! Thanks a million for posting these CAD models. Looking at detailed designs from really good teams is super valuable to the rest of us who are trying to reach that level some day.

Hey guys, I downloaded the CAD of simbot evolution but every time I try to open it, solidworks crashes immediately after it starts parsing the files, and prompts me to send a crash report to Solidworks. Anyone else having similar issues, and/or could help me with this? I was really looking forward to looking through those CADs... :(

Was there a particular file you are having trouble with or are you unable to open all of the files? You will likely have more trouble with our more recent models since they have been getting more detailed each year. I just tried opening the 2014 step file and it took nearly 10 minutes, so it certainly isn't easy on your computers resources. My first guess would be that you don't have enough RAM (the computer I opened it with has 8 GB). Your processor may also may be the issue (I used an i7-2700K @ 3.50 GHz).

Ok yes there is absolutely no way I could get my laptop to open that... I was most interested in looking at the drivetrain, however. Is there any way I could just open that? Thanks!

Sure, send me a PM with your email address and which drivetrain you would like and I'll email it to you.

Uh-oh. Really should have read this before trying to open it on my laptop with 2GB RAM and a 2.5ghz core 2... but regardless of how long I must wait, it's really cool that you guys posted this, and it will be a great resource for other teams. Thanks!!

Edit: surprisingly, it only took about 5 minutes to import into inventor.
