Question SolidWorks seats for FRC students

Marie,
My question is only indirectly related to this thread, but you seem like the right person to ask.

I'm glad to hear that SolidWorks is involved with FIRST. Why don't they also more actively promote their product to the FRC teams?

In the meantime, like other posters, I am a mentor, trained in SolidWorks. A couple of the student team members want to "learn CAD" to help with our robot design. We got a free Inventor DVD, but there is not enough time for me to learn that software and then try to teach the students. Are you the right person to ask about obtaining SolidWorks seats for FRC students; so I can get them started on SolidWorks? (Maybe later, we can convert files and apply for Autodesk's Excellence in Design Award.)

Thanks,

Ken
