I think it's a great idea--look forward to seeing this take off!

The short answer to this questions is Yes and Yes. I have been pondering the idea for quite some time and bouncing it off with some fellow engineers/teachers in FIRST (JVN, Karthik, Paul Copioli, Rees). I look forward to seeing their thoughts in this discussion. After sketching and generating working models, I decided to launch FRC Designs!

Anyway, this could be a super useful resource, lets all hope it takes off!

FIRST Robotics Canada also has some great galleries of robots, mechanisms, arms, grippers, etc.

I remember the firstrobotics.net site when I was a student on the team (2003), and it was handy to have. FRC Designs looks to expand on what was previously there as well as add more content. The FIRST Robotics Canada site has given some great ideas on how to bring in multiple aspects into one site! Thanks for mentioning it!
