The Autodesk KOP is available in 2012, 2011, and 2010 format, so any team should be in good shape for the majority of the parts.

If a new part is added for 2012 (and there are), then the work flow is as follows:

1. Open the new part in 2012 (it is available free to all FIRST teams) and save as a STEP file. You can now import into 2011 and older.
2. If you are stuck I can help you with some of the major new parts.
3. Some of the new parts are available on vendor websites as STEP files. Check AndyMark and others.

At Autodesk we are aware that some teams cannot update their software each year and hopefully my response will assure you are not at any disadvantage. Please contact me directly if you have any concerns.
