Probably low on the priority list, but it has been requested this year.

Other than that, I think the Toughbox would be another one (unless it's already on the Andymark site - and then a link to the AM page at least would be appreciated.)

I personally like to think that FIRSTCadLibrary.com could and should be a central resource for all FIRST CAD based needs.

Keep up the great work! We all appreciate it!
I've already released my version of the Toughbox. It's built with detailed gears and is weight accurate.

I've had dialogs with various Autodesk folks about being the release site for official models over the last couple seasons or at least forming a joint effort to get the most accurate parts out there. Let's just say that we could not come to an acceptable agreement. I did find it ironic that some of my parts are in the official "2008 Kit of parts" (hover over the lead screw nut or kitframe parts). No harm & no foul. It's just funny to me knowing some of the conversations I had with Autodesk earlier.

The effort is a labor of love so I'll continue to crank out parts as fast as I can seperately from the official KOP. My current "thing" is to make the parts weight accurate ( you don't get this anywhere else ). I hope to update all of the old parts by next year.
