Model "Wish" list
 

I'm feeling motivated for some strange reason ........ :cool:

Give me some examples of models that you wish you had access to and I'll make an attempt to post some of them on the FirstCadLibrary.

Please keep it on the component level. I probably won't have time to model that 12 speed gearbox you've been thinking about.

If I can find the part in my junkbox - or - get enough data online, I'll model it.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

The new Breaker Panel would be a nice model to have. Specs. can be found on the IFI website.
Your website is great, keep up the good work.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

dewalt transmission

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I'll second that...

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

How about some 80-20 linear bearings and more 80-20 products?

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Third....

If you do get around to doing this, is it possible to do it as an assembly—with the components separated like in the DeWalt exploded view?

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Fourth.....
AND

Ed,
Thanks for all your great models over the years, it is a huge help to all of us. :]

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I 4th the dewalt transmission. Is this an early christmas present??

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I have a model of the breaker panel I made. A bunch of people asked for it and there was talk of someone hosting it, but no one did, so I still have it. It isn't the greatest (it is missing things like the serial port) but it has most of it. You can try and download from my site.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I'd love to .....

The bad news is that I don't have one .......

Anybody know how I can get my hands on one cheap ?

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

<side tack>
Speaking of CAD parts,
Does anyone know if VEX has some CAD models of the parts somewhere??
If not, one of the kids on our team is just going to make them himself in CAD so no biggie.

I think the most intensive part (graphically anyways) of making the metal parts for example will just be the array of the square/diamond shaped holes.
</side track>

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

it's coming www.vexcadlibrary.com give me a week to finish it but they will be there soon

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Team 103 thanks you Ed for all your hard work the past couple years. Without you and other websites like yourself the inventor award wouldn't be as big as it is today.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Ed,

Since Streamline has not been updated in a few years...

I'm interested in anything BOM that is electrical. The new power distribution panel has already been mentioned. Updates to the Spike model (the new ones have a different form factor) and robot controller (different I/O placement) would be helpful.

Thanks for all your help.

Regards,

Mike

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I'm currently updating the Innovation First Parts including the Spike, Victor, and Controllers. The Breaker Panel is almost done. All of these Parts will be done B4 the end of the year.

Thanks for the input ......

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Thanks!

It's a labor of love and I'm glad to hear from teams that find this stuff useful. It's always kinda cool to see some of the parts show up in various CD posts when assembly ideas are being discussed. It keeps me motivated.....

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

As a user of the firstCadLibrary, I'd like to give a thanks to Ed. Many times I've needed a sprocket or some other random part, and it's been a major time saver to be able to go grab it there, rather than spend the time making every individual sprocket. So thanks!

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Ed, if you need a DeWalt, Purchase one from Stu's contact and let me know your cost. I will pay for it. It's the least we can do with all of the work you do. PM me and I will send a money order (in American $).

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I just received my Dewalt order yesterday. I'll start modeling as soon as I finish the Innovation First parts. Thanks Steve for the offer. My FRC team (34) allowed me to purchase the parts.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Yep, I can do that .....

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

It might be a bit of a task, but what about the KOP frame?

(By the way, Ed, your site kicks butt. I hope to make good use of it this coming season.)

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Isn't the kitbot frame on IFI's site? That is where I got the Transmissions and thought I saw the KOP frame there. I seems to remember it looking preaty good.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

You're right--it's there.

Nevermind, Ed!

(insert anime-style sweat drop here)

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

The accelerometer is now in the "electrical library".

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING ED!!! I just wish i'd know about it sooner, before I'd nearly finished CADDing our entire robot in AutoCAD (the chain was a *insert explicative here*)...come to think of it, how about some #25 and #35 roller chain to go with those nice sprockets of yours?

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I can't access firstcadlibrary.com right now! :ahh:

8020 has CAD models on their website of every part in their catalog

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

that's odd, it works for me...maybe it was down for maintinence

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I know you may not have the window motors in your junkbox, but those would be great to have (I think the one you have is the jideco) but we often also get the Nippon-Denso as well. You're awesome!!

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Actually I probably do. Do you have a pic of the one you need?

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

They had a black body with two long #8 (actually probably metric) bolts down the side of the body. They were a bit heavier and definetly more powerful than the Jideco motors and last year they gave us one of each kind.

here's a pic...

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Is this what you're talking about?

I drafted that in AutoCAD, but I don't have it for Inventor. I CAN, however, export to STEP or IGES if you want it. Alternatively, I can send it to Ed and he could put it up. Just let me know!

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Yep, that's the one. Follow up with Ed about getting it posted on his site for all of us to enjoy :) Thanks. Now to get the AM Shifter into an Inventor Assembly file - right now it's just an imported STEP file that reads in as one part. I may take that on myself.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

How about the CMUcam? If it's in the KOP this year, I have the feeling a lot of teams will be using it.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Yep, That's a good idea and I have one in the junk box.

BTW, the Breaker Panel will be posted tomorrow afternoon.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Would it be possible to get the Large CIM motor from this year?

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I second that...they didn't include it in the VKOP...odd

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I just finished the Large CIM up.

Now I just need somebody to host it????

I did the best I could without taking the motor apart.

I also skipped the spring :ahh:

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Here is the Large CIM motor model (Inventor 8 format) that Brad from 222 has made and team 114 is hosting on our website.
Large CIM Motor
**This model is just a reference and should be not solely relied upon to design parts of your robots.**

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I was not able to find the new denso motor in a iges format, Any help or links would be great .

thanks jim schaddelee

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

First off, 1403 <3's FIRSTcadlibrary Thank You!

Also for the CMUcam, the Pan/Tilt Assembly, would that be possible?

Other random ideas off my head, I don't expect any of this to be done, but since your open to ideas...

• 2006 RC
• Light box Assembly
• Mabuchi Motor
• Left and Right hand versions of the Nippon-Denso Window motors
• Poof Ball (with any available material data, such as approx weight and density, please)
• Joystick? There are some operator interfaces up there, so why not the kit joysticks? the old neutral handed joysticks would be popular too
• speaking of operator interfaces...2006 Operator
• Andymark Battery Pins?
• If you guys get really bored-Google Camera

This isn't really an Inventor issue, but more of a management issue, would it be possible if there could be a big .zip file with a "Virtual Kit"

keep up the awesome work!

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Pan-tilt is on FirstCadLibrary right now (next to the CMU camera on the electrical page).

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

The 2006 RC & 2006 OI are exactly the same as the 2005 versions (graphically of course) so I do not plan on posting another version. I plan on posting the Nippon-Denso motors and the Mabuchi motor right after I finish the FIRST Transmission Detail and Dewalt Transmission.

I'm not sure that providing a "big .zip" file makes sense for the FCL because individual models are modified and added on a somewhat regular basis during the season. If everyone downloaded the "big .zip" on a regular basis I would go broke paying my IP for bandwidth. Maybe one of these days I'll make the big time and get a sponsor (or win the lottery). For now, we'll have to live within my budget constraints.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Ok, look, I really need this picture to become a model, I found this jpg at google pictures.
Please help me, thanks.
Here is the jpg: http://www.roboraiders.com/inventor/large/process1.jpg

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

All of the parts to build this model are available. The frame is located here and the motors & wheels are here .

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Ok, I have lot of difficulties with building only this base of the robot, and it's the same base in most teams, so if you can please leave the already built base here it would be very helful.
Thanks alot.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

A "BaneBot's" transmission?

Right now I have a block that follows the basic dimensions and mounting holes, but it lacks that level of detail we've all come to love. I doubt that they will be as popular as the dewalts, but there is a buzz about them.

-Andy A.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I love the FCL, just hope they update the victors to the new 884 victors

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

#4 on my list of things to do ......

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

I'd like to, but I don't have one yet. Any sponsors out there ? ;)

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Hello, I have another request. I need a model of the arena (playing field) for inventor / pro desktop.
If you can help, thanks.

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

As for the DeWalt Transmission, I have an extremely rough Inventor 10 version with the mounts and CIM motor attached. It's just the outer shell for the most part, but if anyone would like it, you can download it from my team's website. www.team1742.com just go to the downloads page. If you need a different file type, step or iges or something, just email me and I'll see what I can do. :)

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Ed, just an item of note (just a slight problem :) )

The holes on the CMU-Camera and the CMU Pan-Tilt do not line up.

Otherwise, they're both awesome! :)

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

some electrical connections + working chain

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Thanks! I'll fix it and post a notice. :)

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Any specific type (or part number) of electrical connections?

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

more omniwheels....

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

Anything in particular?

Or just whatever flows out of my sick twisted mind. :cool:

(I have 2 of the Andy-Mark Omni-wheels in my 'Junk' box.)

Re: Model "Wish" list
 

haha thatll work. more like awesome mind. i have to give you points for a lot of the stuff on there. I started making my own website of CAD models and am considering adding your link to it. (yes this is me asking). It would be neat to have another cad library connected to mine, and likewise for yours if you know any other free ones. they make good resources.
