Re: FIRST Model Library
3DSM is more like art than mechanics. The model library would be a good idea, but it will eventually end up taking the creativity out of the competition, because rookie teams would use the library for their difficult models. For inventor it is okay, because a gear is a gear, or a piston a piston, no matter who makes it.

If you want a library of game pieces or robot parts like for inventor, that would work. But i think it would be a bad idea to put cars and fish and spaceships and pre-rigged characters, etc in a free library. would take the fun out of animating.
