Great job on putting a program like this together for teachers. I did a workshop for Connecticut teachers on robotics a few months back. The ppt presentation is yours to use

It shows really cool robots from the past (Unimate and PUMA) and current robots designed in SolidWorks (Mars ROVER arm, FANUC, VEX, GEARS-EDs, medical robots, humanoid robots an Battlebot robots)
There are many free robot resources for teachers on the SolidWorks teacher blog -

Good luck in your quest. Marie
