All,

Great to see that some of you have already started to use the Autodesk Cloud. We are very intererested on how that works for you.

If you have a computer and internet access you can Autodesk has been kind enough to release their software for free to first robotics team. If you find one or two kids who are interested in learning direct them HERE: to download their choice of cad software (personally i would suggest inventor) and then off season have them start cadding old robots of yours or other miscellaneous stuff. There are probably enough knowledgeable people here who would be willing to help if they become stumped.

I would certainly hope so.

And to answer your question: I don't know what your team's situation is, but we work in our high school, so our administration gave us access to another drive on our servers. We save all of our files there.

Regardless of how you save them, though, you need to make sure that people aren't working on the same part or assembly. I know this seems like a dummy misttake, but you have no idea how often it happens on our team.

We've relied mostly on Dropbox which has given us few errors, but I'll have to look into Autodesk Cloud, which may prove far easier...

Me and my dad were talking to a couple if your mentors at kick off. Is there anyone on your team that is willing to learn a CAD software? I know solidworks and am willing to teach someone over skype or google+. Always want to help out fellow Canadian teams

Phil,

Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the Autodesk Cloud server just another 'dropbox' type of server. Specifically it does not include any integration with the Autodesk tools (and especially Inventor).

Thanks
