Inventor Studio
Who uses it and who loves it? I just got my hands on Inventor 11 Professional (student license) and all I can say is "WOW!" SolidWorks watch out. Autodesk is slowly but surely taking over (at least imho)! Inventor Studio is such a welcome addition to Inventor. It is very easy to use and to someone who isn't really experienced in computer animation, it seems quite powerful. I'm willing to bet you could even do your whole FRC animation entry in it (if the rules permit, do they?). Anyway, if you haven't tried it, you should. I'd recommend following the tutorial first as to not confuse yourself by exploring on your own.

My only gripe is that it seems to take somewhat of an eternity to render (P4 2.4GHZ HT 1.5 gigs RAM) but I don't usually render too many things so I don't have a lot to compare it to.
