Virtual Kit of Parts?

[Ianworld]

well the big advantage of the digital parts for me, is that I don't need the actual parts on hand. We have a limited number of hours in our lab and i'm not able to take parts home(i use a New York City subway) so i'm limited in my access to details. ah well i guess i can wait...

[CJO]

Most of the parts are still online from previous years. Look on the CD portal at the links. If they are not ther, PM me and I will post last year's.

The 2005 VKoP is now up on streamline...

[petek]

Just a heads-up that the posted VKoP is not complete yet, but a little birdie informs me that the parts from IFI (drivetrain system and kit frame) will be posted very soon.

Also, the flasher that is in the posted VKoP is the wrong one for this year's competition - it is the old rotating beacon from 2003 and earlier.

This is the first year I'm doing the virtualbot stuff, so I have a feeling that I'm going to get an obvious answer to this question, but nonetheless:

Up on streamline? What/Where/Huh? Where do I find this?

I downloaded the VKoP from streamline but none of the files wold open for me. Do they require Inventor 8? We are running Inventor 5 becuase our computers are horible.

Unfortunately for you, yes they are in Inventor 8. You might be able to use the STEP files IFI has posted on their site (kit frame, wheel & trans). Much of the VKoP is similar to last year's, though the fuse panel is new.

I did not see the Fuse Panel when scanning through the VKOP. Did I just miss it or is it there?

I got permission to install the trial of Inventor 8 on my home computer, but it crashes when trying to work with assemblies and some other comands. My computer is powerful enough though. The trial of Inventor 4 (Yes I know it's old ) worked fine. Did this problem happen with anyone else? Or is there a work around to open the files anyway?

What are the specs of your machine? Inventor requires a lot of RAM, my machine is a 1.5 GHz Pentium 4 with 640 MB of RAM and 60 GB of free disk space, and it still bogs down after several hours of heavy assembly work . I can't imagine working with less than 512 MB of RAM.

I too noticed that the fuse panel wasn't in the Virtual Kit of Parts on Streamline. Maybe somebody will post one
