Most KOP models are there in a multitude of formats along with lots of vex parts.
Here's the link right to those parts, since they can be a pain to find.

Or, better question, does Solidworks support any of those files types? (IGES, STEP, SAT, INV)?

(Apologies for the stupid questions -I'm a software mentor that is trying to get some kids into this mechanical CAD stuff)
Jeff's suggestion is the easiest, since you can get the files already in SolidWorks format. However SW will import STEP files from FIRST Cad Library just fine (although they will lack the "meta data", such as material, density, etc).
