Looks great, and I'm looking forward to playing with Onshape soon! Thanks for letting us know about it.

FYI, if you're considering this CAD model for use on a real robot, you might want to read some of the reviews on the Dremel angle drive complaining of lack of durability. It's probably made for high speed but not necessarily high torque. It would be a shame to buy 4 of them at $20 each, build a robot based on them, and then find that they break the first time your robot runs into a wall or another robot, stalling your motor.
