Greg, You rock!!!! Pete, tell your wife it's all my fault. She's used to that explanation by now ...

Stay tuned! I'll be sending files to Greg to post on vexcadlibrary shortly - after I get done purging unused styles, etc. and compressing them. Following Greg's suggestion, we will post STEP as well as Inventor 10 versions to accomodate users of other applications and earlier versions of Inventor.

It is so very gracious and professional, and much appreciated, for all of you to work together to provide these models, but I thought I would let everyone know ...

I learned a couple of weeks ago that all of the Vex kit parts have been created in Inventor 10 and will be available online shortly from Radio Shack (www.vexrobotics.com) and/or IFI (www.vexlabs.com) . Unfortunately I don't know anything about scheduling at the moment but I will try to find out more details. Until then I'm sure this coordinated effort will be a big help to everyone ... Thanks again!

I will mirror on my site for dual access also, I'll download from the vexcadlibrary then repost on my site here cadlibrary. I have a couple hnudred gigs of space so bring it on.

also peter is you wish you can/could just email the files to me also, maalderink@hotmail.com

-Mike

edit: The files are there and I will continue to upload as I get them.

If anyone else has files they need hosted just email them to me or PM me, I have unlimited bandwidth and virtually unlimited harddrive space.

I like to help

nice find. I knew that they were working on it. Unfortunatly vexcadlibrary fell into the "I have way too much stuff on my plate right now" catigory. Hopefully when i get some time in the offseason i am going to pick back up with things. The goal of my site was also to provide space for people to upload their drawings and make it a community effort. But for now please use vexcad.com for all your needs and know that vexcadlibrary will hopefully be up soon.

We have lots of additional models to post, but just haven't had the time to upload them. The entire site is planned to get an overhaul.

Future plans for vexcad.com involve integration with an upgraded vexlabs.com forum, as well as with the vexrobotics.com site. User uploads, "build a virtual robot" sites, as well as postings of "professional" designs are all planned.


Stay Tuned.

It looks like Carnegie Mellon has made drawings of most kit parts.
McMaster-Carr has drawings of screws and nuts.

However, I'm still looking for drawings of all the accessories. In particular, the sensors.
