Now, just to clear this up, these rules were released a couple weeks before Kickoff.
As for converting them, from SW export as a STEP file and import into Inventor that way. Not the prettiest or nicest but sure beats redoing everything.

SolidWorks is a sponsor of the Boston First Regional and Worcester First Regional. We have judges and other volunteers at regionals across the country and at nationals. Our SolidWorks commerical users mentor teams and therefore want to use SolidWorks. Machine shops have SolidWorks too. We shipped software to over 200 teams - physical DVD media. We also included a Certified SolidWorks Associate Exam (CSWA) coupon to any designer that wants to take our first level certification and is part of a design team for First ($99 value). So why do so many mentors and commerical product designers use SolidWorks? The answer to this question goes far beyond a contest. Both PTC and Autodesk are contributors to FIRST. The more software tools you know the more valuable you will be to industry. Marie
