Re: pic: Virtual Squarebot
Is that CADed or 3DS Max/etc?
If its CAD, Inventor or SolidWorks or even AutoCAD? and are models available? |
Re: pic: Virtual Squarebot
Hey, that's mighty sweet. I would really like to see the entire robot when/if you are finished.

Re: pic: Virtual Squarebot
i am thinking that is Autodesk Inventor.
nice job on the parts. could i get those parts for inventor to plan my vex robot ahead instead of testing and cutting the metal the wrong size? amazing job. |
By Popular Demand
Get 'em while they last:
http://home.epix.net/~pkiesel/inventor/vex_parts.zip There are just a few parts so far, but I'll put more up as I model them. They are in Inventor 10. And sorry, but I will not be creating versions with older revs of Inventor. Other caveats: the 60T gear isn't complete - I still have to do the curved slots, no guarantees on accuracy (let me know if you find errors). My ISP is still living in the 90's (10 MB on their server) and there aren't many choices here in the wilds of upper Bucks, so this will only be up until the next time I need the disk space. |

Hey, for those of you with server space and a hunger for Inventor Vex parts, I suggest you hop on board with Pete and offer to host what he models. FRC Team 103 won the Inventor Award under Pete's leadership and I know him well enough to say that if he gets a reliable offer, he'll probably be more motivated to model parts. Right, Pete? ;)

Re: pic: Virtual Squarebot
what if you just use gmail? use it as a server? just send an email to yourself
just set up an account like VEX parts or something and have a password that you pass around I have 100 Invites to give out, so if you need one let me know |
Re: pic: Virtual Squarebot
i will host them on my www.midnightinvention.com server...but if the bandwidth gets to high we will have to find other options.
|
Re: pic: Virtual Squarebot
The average file size so far is around 300KB, but the motor is 711KB (with unused styles purged) and the 60T gear is over 1MB (involute teeth have a lot of detail). Can I upload to one of your sites or do you want me to email the files?

Also, I just remembered this. Do you have a Geocities website? You can host up to 15 Mb there, and you can have up to 3 Gb/month bandwidth for free. All you need is a Yahoo Account. Maybe you could make a Yahoo Account called Vex-Inventor-Parts or something, and then set up a free Geocities account. Quote:

Muhahahahaha As long as I'm pushing buttons out there, why not REALLY press my luck and suggest something ... Don't forget Sevaa's gracious hosting offer for FIRST related sites for free... Boy would it be great for somebody out there to register a domain for a tiny sum through Sevaa (cough .... vexcadlibrary.com OR petesvexparts.com OR ...) It looks like we've got 2-3 people here that would share the site creation/admin duties and I'm sure Pete's efforts will encourage others to get in on the fun... |
Re: pic: Virtual Squarebot
www.vexcadlibrary.com was just registered and will be up shortly. ;)
