We are using Solid Edge again this year. It is made by Unigraphics, uses the same modeling kernel, but is a lot easier to use. We showed our robot (as did team 34) at the Solid Edge User's Group Conference. Dave Brown (FIRST Pres)was the Keynote speaker

Solid Edge has been kind enough to give us temporary licenses for our team's use. I think they would love to be a bigger supporter of FIRST (they sponsored a lego comp. this year).

Our high school students are modeling parts after taking a few tutorials (with no CAD experience). Still, the software is every bit as powerfull as UG if you don't require the use of surfaces. Solids work fine for anything that is machined.
