Students on our team (and probably others) want to start learning Inventor with Vex.
The plan is to design Vex robots using existing models of the parts.
Please continue to contribute to the library of parts.
Models of the wheels and most accessories are currently unavailable. The entire FIRST community would benefit from a complete library of Inventor models for every VEX part available from IFI.
Our team is in particular need of models of the omni-wheel, rechargeable battery, linear slide, and sensors. No one our team is good enough on CAD to model the omni-wheel or sensors.
There are several sites currently hosting limited libraries of Vex parts. This process was started last summer but it is currently stalled. Please help get it started again.
What is currently available:
The best library of parts is available from CMU.
