Another question just hit me. If anyone could comment on how long it took them to draw their robot that would be good info to pass along. The kids seem to think it's a couple of hour thing and I think it's muchhhhhh longer.
I am currently using SW2007. It would be most convenient to have a file in that format. I am looking into getting a newer version for student use in hopes of being more compatible.
Thanks again,

I work in Solidworks 2008. If you're able to upgrade, I can find a way to get you a 23MB archive of the drive train I posted here --

The time required to model something is dependent upon a few things, obviously. Foremost, there is significant difference between designing something in Solidworks -- and iterating on that design -- and modeling something that will not change. Design takes a long time, but modeling does not, comparatively.
That drive represents about four hours of distracted work on my part, but I work professionally with Solidworks, so I wouldn't be surprised if it took others somewhat longer.
