Teams you can apply for 1 year sponsorship at
www.solidworks.com/FIRST
Last year we sponsored over 800 FIRST teams with SolidWorks software.
The 60 day is a special promotion for summer camps. If you have robot camp, you can use this for your little campers.
As a team member, go for the 1 year. Also FIRST teams will receive:
SolidWorks (Premium - includes photorealistic rendering, animation, toolbox library)
SolidWorks Simulation Premium (stress and thermal analysis of parts and assemblies)
SolidWorks Flow Simulation
SolidWorks Plastics
SolidWorks Electrical (more is coming with a new electrical kop Fall2014)
SolidWorks Composer (technical documentation great for assembly instructions)
Once you register, you will get a link to SolidWorks robot tutorials.
100's of tutorials are also inside the software but the robot tutorials are a good place to start.
