A 103 Fun Pic
 

We gave our new trainees a little project to work on. I think they came out pretty well. Let me know what you think!

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

That's awesome, that must have taken them a while to do.

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Our animation team trained by making desks and computer monitors....so boring compared to this! :cool:

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

These creations took them about 5 to 7 days, I guess. They were in and out of the project while we were training them to do certain aspects of the program. And they're pretty much ready for the season too!

Well I, for one, welcome our alien overlords and bow to their power....

Pretty cool

Wow. I've never tried to model legos before. Very nice.

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Trainees D:. How many CADDers are you guys going to have this year?

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

We have four now. Two of them are new. The vets are Rob and me. It was my idea to start the Legos for training, and we're currently working on some new models as well. the great thing with inventor is that we make a part (aka lego piece), put it in the library, and then we can keep on using it for different models.

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Nice training idea...fairly simple shapes, made by multiple designers...a great way to teach assembly constraints...and c'mon, who doesn't love Legos!!!

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Yeah, it was boring. We had to make flashlights before that.

Now I want to get back to LEGO Star Wars 2.
*sigh* health progect first...

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Your four will probably be able to blow our 6 out of the water. Good luck with this year's award.

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Thanks for the encouragement, Eric. We always enjoy looking at other team's entries too. Look forward to seeing what evey one does this year!

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Here's a new challenge, add in small bright green pieces for the laser blasts!!:D

On a serious note, good luck to you guys again, you are always phenomenal both with your robot and your inventor award submission.

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Speaking of seeing other team's entries, you wouldn't happen to know if the '06 season's submissions are still on streamline, would you?

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

very cool, but you didn't make them put the little lego symbol on each piece...

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Touche!!! Now, just add in a couple of vulture droids, a gunship or two for a landing party, and Obi-Wan's and Anakin's ships... then I will be impressed!!!

No, nice job guys.

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Yup - they're still up. Username = (public)

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

Check this pic out, thought it was cool. (We didn't model this one)

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

We thought of that and something might be brewing if we find extra time (but who finds extra time during build season?).

also, we are now modeling the little "lego" word on the peices too. here check it out:

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

The data should still be available on Streamline. Moving forward, we be using FIRSTbase for award submissions.

Re: A 103 Fun Pic
 

I might have to try that. Both members of our design team that have more than the past few months on any sort of computer design experience are graduating after this year. Including me.

Seems like an extremely good training program vs. the ones Autodesk provides you with.

As the design captain I think its important to help leave a "mini-me" for next year. :D

If we finish our bot within our 4 week time-limit we set ourselves I might have to work with some lego peices...
