Legally, I do not have permission to do this - however, since most of the parts were designed in SolidWorks originally, I will ask the vendor. This might take awhile. We are very sensative to utilizing model files designed by others. However, I created a series of youtube videos for collegiate FSAE teams that might be helpful to show you how to use 3dContentCentral more effectively. You can actually drag the component right
from 3dContentCentral into your assembly.

View the video on youtube, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oy_MZ... FAF31&index=2
Although these movies were created for car design, the technique is the same. Select the First Robotics or VEX Robotics category under User Category for My Favorites. Create a common directory for
all 3DContentCentral parts when you download.

Remember to customize your Design Library to include this folder of parts - it will really make life easier. You can drag them into additional assemblies.
Tip: Think about subassemblies first - how would you assembly this physically? What parts move and what are fixed. Use reference axis for rotation to mate to. Marie
