WHERE IS THE VIRTUAL KIT OF PARTS

[Ed Sparks]

Here is a copy of the email that your "Main Contact" received on 12/17/01. I signed up on 12/17/01 and received my account yesterday. There are 25 parts in their library. All models are designed using Inventor 5 and are not backward compatible to Inventor 3. My intentions are to include my versions of these models on the FIRST CAD Library site using Inventor 3 and translating to all other formats. I'll do this as time permitts over the next 4 or 5 days.


AUTODESK INFORMATION:
After the FIRST Kick-off is over and you are ready to begin designing your robot, Autodesk is making available, free of charge, a Virtual Kit of Parts created in Autodesk Inventor. The Virtual Kit of Parts will also be able to be used in AutoCad and 3ds max and will be available on Streamline (additional information will be posted on the FIRST web site after the Kick-off). If you want access to the Virtual Kit of Parts, you must obtain a password and account number through Autodesk. In addition to the Virtual Kit of Parts, Streamline will make an e-room available, accessible only by your team so that you can collaborate with your team mentors and partners on line! To be a part of this process, please email Edwin.Fu@autodesk.com and give him the following information:
Team Number
Main Contact Name
Main Contact E-mail Address

Edwin will set up an account and password for your team. This may be shared with all of your team members allowing you to make the most of your Autodesk software and the virtual kit of parts in your design process. Please note: you must contact Edwin with this information by December 21, 2001!!!
