Re: Is there a free CAD program download?

Also, I realize this is asking about CAD programs that are presumably for modeling robots but for visualizing spaces (like the playing field) let us not forget the free Google Sketchup (http://sketchup.google.com/)
I have become quite handy with Sketchup, and while it might not be good for the final product or accurate simulations, it can help get points across faster than some CAD programs take to load up.

Also with the plugin Sketchyphysics, you can get a little farther in displaying ideas, like this Mechanum wheel demo I set up a while back http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehou...3747dd66645aad

I joined FIRST and stuck with it. It was nice enough to return the favor.
