I know the feeling. Do what you guys can, but I think whatever you guys come out with will be something useful to teams. Figure out some strategy in real time against other humans.

[random thought]

Any plans on doing a multiplayer over the internet? That would be pretty neat , and allow for some "research" on strategy/fun without lugging over a few computers. Just something else to add to a probably already long list of "to-do's".

I'll try to get the result into the simulator.
A friend of mine asked for a FBX model of some models I made in Inventor, and the only way I could figure out how is to download this Inventor Studio or something of that sort (for like creating nice-pretty display pictures). I'll have to do some more research on it now that this opportunity is open. I'd be pretty neat. If not, I'll learn something new.

Thanks for the messages!
