Ed personally the FIRST CAD Library gave me motivation and probably Jeff to start our own Library. Which is
http://cad.team1323.com
Ed, the only problem I had with the FIRST CAD library was how outdated it was and it supported formats that didn’t matter to me at the time. My goal and Jeff’s was to create a library that was open to the public, supported as much as possible and was a collection of as many parts as possible.
Ed I really hope you keep this site going but I did have an idea that I have been itching to ask you.
What if we combine our resources and build a whole new site from scratch? I’ve been wanting to this whole summer to redo our entire layout, create a better naming system and add in more functionality to the site.
With the new site:
-Cleaner Layout and no more frames
-One central place for parts
-Bigger collaboration of the FIRST community working on CAD
-Having as many models available to FIRST community.
Ed, what if we did what Greg did for the blue alliance and we let cd members contribute ideas? Then we make it happen? As I have not run this by Jeff, I personally would be open to a new system and the opportunity to pool our resources.
At one point I asked Anthony (Team 221 LLC) if we could host all of his parts and he was open to the idea. Maybe with this whole new site we could integrate AM and Team 221 LLC parts better?
This is just an idea, I’m open to anything that would improve the quality of both sites.
