Re: [FTC]: Drive Platform- Design Exercise

I've been spending some time working with OnShape. I'm having good success doing the typical cadding we done in the past for First. Below is the MRI Power Module. OnShape has the following advantages over other CAD packages:
  • FREE
  • Cloud Based- works like Google Docs
  • Works on any platform- PC, MAC, Tablet, even smartphones. The computing is done "in the cloud", so device is only a browser interface.
  • No IT required
  • Revision control is very advanced- similar to GitHub
  • Collaboration capabilities are terrific- multiple users can work on the same project in real time.
  • No files to maintain
