Re: Robonauts CAD
Wow. The 2013 CAD is really impressive. I can't say that I've ever seen a cooler and more detailed CAD of any robot. Literally every thing on the robot is in the model.

I'm a huge fan of your gearbox. I don't think I've ever seen another team use a dog shifter between a gear and a sprocket.

Just out of curiosity, how do you guys work with these massive files? It took me a good 10 minutes just to open it, and I have to look at individual assemblies or it is too slow. Does solidworks do a better job than inventor with big assemblies? For me, inventor uses 5 gb of RAM just to have the file open.
