Talking Yea! You didn't give up !

What kind of computers do you run this on?
I develop parts on the same class of machine you now have. Your laptop will make life better. I suggest you develop your robot as sub-assemblies.

Quote:
Virtual Kit of Parts?
All models that were on the Autodesk site can be found on First Cad Library. I haven't heard what the plan is this year but I suspect Autodesk will offer some parts.

Quote:
Does anyone have a *.iam of the drill motors?
I never drew the clutch because we don't use it on our drive assemblies. I'll draw that part for you and build an .iam of the complete assembly this weekend.

Quote:
Can anyone point me to tutorials that explain how I can make these things move?
You need to master "Constraints" before you make models move. The built in tutorials were enough for me to make a couple of movies.

Hang in there. There's a lot of things to learn in Inventor. It takes more than a weekend. I learn alot by dissecting models from other users.
