Yes, that site has some great parts, but the VKoP that FIRST puts out lacks and I don't care to have to make all the FIRST special parts every time. I have used some the that sites parts, but my first resource for parts is (or was) FCL.
Reguarding a new site, if we don't have to make a new site (aka use FCL) than that would be best becuase people already know about it. If we have to make a new site, it would be great to retain a) FCL's domain and b) FCL's models. That way it would a) be remaking FCL and making it better and b) we don't have to model everything all over again or download the whole FCL one at a time and keep it all together.
New idea: FIRST gives teams the next to latest Inventor and CAD. But not all teams can run it (bad computers). Maybe, if we do this, we could have multiple versions of the models (I4, I8, CAD r14, CAD 2002, CAD 2004, ect) and have people select what one they want, like from a dropdown menu.
