I have to assume you mean this site if it was a link off of FIRST's website:
http://www.firstcadlibrary.com/

If so, Ed Sparks who runs that site, typically makes them in Autodesk Inventor, & has other formats that SW can use. (See Cory & Andy's post above for importing certain file types into SW).


Also, & maybe easier to use now & in the future, SW has recently partnered with FIRST & Ed to include a model of (most) KOP items on their 3D Content Central website.

Many of them can be found here in native SW formats:
