SolidWorks Robotics Summer School

[DanDon]

I signed up- any info on who the lucky 1,000 were would be great . And I loved the Solidworks car pins in Atlanta.

I signed up for it, too - I just started learning Solidworks and I love it. This is an awesome idea. I think that FIRST could benefit by using this same system to help train students for the next season in other design software, programming, animation, etc.

[HighLife]

I also signed up.

[Andrew Bates]

Signed up, always wanted to learn how to use solidworks to it's full potential.

[cooker52]

Signed up too.
Love doing that kind of stuff and figured I may as well throw my hand at whatever is offered.

[MGoelz]

I signed up. I've had a copy sitting by my computer that has yet to be used. It's a 90-day thing from VEX, but I never got around to it. I know a lot about Autodesk Inventor, and I want to learn something a little different; I want to expand my horizon a little.

im guessing that means that you missed the cutoff

i signed up a few hours ago, but it would still be nice to get some feedback.
I'm trying to expand on my skills and this looked like the perfect way

[Justanotherguy1]

well i don't know if i missed the cutoff, anyone who signed up right away know?? And when does the DVD come? What happens if you missed the first 1000 cutoff?

[Andrew Schreiber]

Also, will the tutorials be available to anyone or just those 1000?

[cooker52]

that's a good question.
If we can't get the software, some of the tutorials will still be extremely useful.

From what I understood, the tutorials will be available to everyone, but only the first 1000 get the free copy.

[NickE]

I just signed up.

I started playing around with solidworks a few weeks ago, and its awesome.
It'd be sweet to have some robotics-specific tutorials for it

[Richard McClellan]

I signed up! Solidworks is awesome.

This morning we have almost 500 students - so if you have registered yesterday - you are in good shape.

We will place all the tutorials on our website for all students to use at www.solidworks.com/robotics

The first 1000 students will get the SolidWorks Student Edition. This is a one year license with all the analysis tools including COSMOSMotion and COSMOSFloWorks.

The second 1000 students will get the SolidWorks Student Design Kit. This is a 5 month license that will take you through SolidWorks Robotics Summer School.

Some of the tutorials you will review are in the product, others will be on line. Instructions will be given in June.

For now - we are trying to mail a large volume of software out before college students go on vacation. SolidWorks Robotics Summer School is also open to college students that design for MATE, Battlebots, RoboCup.

Be certain to double check your mailing address and completely fill out the form. If the address is not complete - we cannot ship.
