For SOLIDWORKS, the best place to start is
www.solidworks.com/first. Fill out the application.
Get the software for everyone on your team. Go through the tutorials. We even have tutorials just for FRC. Other teams here have made great tutorials.
Download the kit of parts models. Open the kit bot assembly to see how parts go together.
Divide the team. Start in the summer. Everyone learns the basics. Let the artistic members of you team focus on Photoview 360 and Animation. Another member can concentrate on machined parts and another sub assemblies.
Texas has a strong SolidWorks commercial and college/university presence.
Go to
www.swugn.org. There are many SolidWorks users groups in Texas. Austin is our oldest and one of the biggest. Might be worth a field trip.
