 I don't care if students, engineers, my aging grandmother, or a pack of monkeys builds the robot...as long as at least one student walks away inspired then the goal of FIRST has been reached. - Andy Grady [more] |

Re: Did Your Team Submit A 2007 Autodesk Inventor Award Entry?
665 didn't. We honestly didn't have enough people to do it. We have about 7 people on our team. Most people were working on mocking up real parts and just designing them on paper due to a lack of experience and time for Inventor. We don't particularly have a lot of things machined, so when we did we would design it on Inventor, but other then that we just has to utilize all of our student resources towards actually building the robot.

Re: Did Your Team Submit A 2007 Autodesk Inventor Award Entry?
We couldn't submit an entry because we do all the design work in ProE. Although Autodesk is a huge sponsor of FIRST, I think it should be a generic CAD award instead of an Inventor award. That would encourage much more diversity and increase the amount of participants for the award. Many teams who do not use Inventor become ineligible regardless of what the mentors of the team might use. It is no use to the students on 108 that they learn Inventor when all our mentors are trained in ProE. Oh well, ultimately, learning any CAD software is all that is important!

Re: Did Your Team Submit A 2007 Autodesk Inventor Award Entry?
We didn't submit because this was our first year really using Inventor. Last year we just admired the fancy softare that we got in the kit and didn't have time to learn it. This year we had some students learn how to use it but we were not quite skilled enough to fully design the entire robot. On top of that we didn't have a truly final design until the week before ship. We did use it for some stress-analysis testing though. Hopefully we'll use it more next year!

Re: Did Your Team Submit A 2007 Autodesk Inventor Award Entry?
We didn't, mainly because I'm the head CAD guy (and the only one who actually knows what he's doing....) and I was also drive train head. There simply wasn't enough time to create a competitive entry and build a competition powerhouse drivetrain at the same time.

Re: Did Your Team Submit A 2007 Autodesk Inventor Award Entry?
Nope. I did all the CAD, I'm mechanical lead as well so I had to contend with tons of robot problems throughout the rest of build...and I was just too tired at the end to submit an entry.

Re: Did Your Team Submit A 2007 Autodesk Inventor Award Entry?
we did not submit as the designs were never finished to an "award" quality. Individual parts and geometry on the design are all correct but the final detail work was never done.
But since you asked here is a render.
