I don't know how you will get an accurate model of the robot when it's in the box in storage. I wish you luck and email me at jdiwnab at gmail dot com if I can get you some part.

Reguarding you computer issue, I don't know what is in that computer. I have a 1.9GHz AMD with 768MB RAM at it olnly really slows up when I try to get a complex array (like when I was doing the tread last night (190 instances)) or if I am trying to import a CD in iTunes in the background. There might be some settings to lower the level of detail the Inventor displays (like the shiny reflections on chrome) but their isn't much you can do. Inventor just takes up a lot of power. If there is another computer available to you, try to move to it.

If they want us to think outside of the box, why do they make us fit in a 38x28x60 inch box?
