Help finding Tetrix dimensions

Does anyone know a place where I could find Tetrix parts dimensons like a diagram or CAD file? I'm working on our minibot and need dimensions of the motor, battery, and NXT controller.

Re: Help finding Tetrix dimensions

We place many tetrix models inside of SolidWorks

Go to the DesignLibrary>SolidWorks Content>Robotics

Select the Tetrix folder.

Marie,
We use SolidWorks Student Edition, 2010-2011. I don't see them in there. Is there someplace we go to insert them into the DesignLibrary?

Re: Help finding Tetrix dimensions

Not certain why they are not showing up - I created this link for you
http://blogs.solidworks.com/teacher/...olidworks.html

Complete model on Mantis. Download it and you get all the individual part files.
There are a few LEGOS(R) if you need more LEGOS, go to www.SolidWorks.com/Robotics In the LEGO Tutorials we have build the Segway Robot (R) model and a car LEGO robot model.

Once you download, unzip and go to DesignLibrary>Add File Location. browse to you folder and then you should see the model files in an assembly document.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Marie

Re: Help finding Tetrix dimensions

The Tetrix motor drawing on the above site did not show location of the 3 mm tapped holes on the end of the motor.

Is a more detailed drawing available?

the diagram I saw showed them as M2 holes each 14mm off centerline. Bought some M2 screws. Drat! Gotta go back for some M3s I guess. The diagram was in an electrical characteristics thread, a PDF from 2006? Search should find it. PM me if you fail. It's lurking somewhere in my windows NTFS purgatory somewhere. edit: TETRIX Drive Motor Performance.pdf (not as hard to find as I feared)
