PTC, Autodesk, Solidworks...
Now that PTC, Autodesk, and Solidworks have clearly shown that they are interested in FIRST robotics, what do you think will be the future of these collaborations. Will there be more room for more presentations [like the Phil and Ted Show]? Will we see CAD software becoming more cross compatible* [not due to FIRST but in general], and how bout some electronics programs too [like OrCAD, Multisim, Ultraboard, etc.] coming out for teams to use now that they have all the resources for mechanical design?
*meaning you can use more than STEP files to talk between Pro/E and ADI, as well as being able to retain part characteristics when switching into these file types.
Imagine, dream, discuss.
