It looks like Autodesk has STEP versions of the KOP released, so I'll probably get those downloaded and if there are any parts that don't work out or are missing I'll search on 3DContentCentral.com.
So no problem really.
That's a really nice render of the kitbot btw.  |
I believe the reason your teacher is limiting the upgrade to student-owned machines is that he/she is (correctly, and admirably) playing by the rules. The terms of the license SW gives as part of team sponsorship are "Student" licenses, which can only be used on machines personally owned by team members, NOT school-owned machines. The school's machines are probably covered under an "Educational" license, purchased by the school, from a SW reseller.
