This summer’s FIRST Autodesk interns have created a streamlined tutorial series, “Built by Design”, to teach Autodesk Inventor. Specifically made for FIRST students, the videos take you through the process of modeling a complete robot. The series takes robot design from the first sketches to the final showcasing of the robot. Through the process of the tutorial series the intern team modeled their own robot, which is available for download to follow along with the videos. Included in the design process are design acceleration tools, to make modeling complicated assemblies faster. Included along with the series is a fully downloadable CAD library of pre-made parts commonly used for FRC.
Built by Design was faced by Nathan Fuller (2733), and worked on by Amy Wiegand, Daniel Bramblett (1510), Daniel Wilkins(2915), Ian Walters (2374), Jake Gilbert (2915), and Stephen Snellgrove (3131).
You can find these videos at our
Wiki or on the
Autodesk Education Community Site

I saw 2274, a rookie team that had won the regional, gathered around their mentor. He was holding their trophy and saying, "This is what it is all about. Teamwork and cooperation. You guys did great." - Po-ser [more]
