Thanks to Autodesk for providing all this software.
In previous years it was possible to install Vault Server from the Inventor installation files but I don't see a way to do that with 2016. Is...

Re: Vision in Java
Thanks, I'll take a look at the Daisy implementation. I have heard that JavaCV is poorly documented, at least relative to OpenCV. Has that been your experience?

Vision in Java
First, a disclaimer: I am not a programmer. I am a mechanical mentor dipping my toe into the programming side to help set some wheels in motion for a vision system.

Re: 2015: Year of the Mecanum

Re: Octagonal WCD
While not complete, I'm posting the CAD of this in case anybody would like to take a look. We'll likely develop this in to our 2015 drivetrain, but for now it remains a partially developed...

Re: 2168 A3144 Hall effect sensor board
Can someone who has used the 971 board or something similar like this comment on how accurate and repeatable they are? What would you use them for and where would you avoid using them?
I'm happy to...

Care to share your calculations? And how do you determine the magnitude of the load you'll expect to see at a corner wheel?
