Hello Teams,
As the excitement of championship approaches, PTC wants to congratulate all teams on a great season thus far! As you may know, PTC is now a Crown Level Supplier to the FRC program and Official CAD and Collaboration Supplier to FTC and this year we offered the following software tools to all teams:
- Windchill for team collaboration (hosted by PTC)
- Pro/ENGINEER for creating CAD models of your robot
- Mathcad for documenting your engineering calculations
- ProductView for visualizing your robot design
We are preparing for championship now and wanted to invite and encourage you to drop by our booth and attend our workshops in Atlanta! We will have a booth located in the PIT area and it is designed to be an oasis for resting and snacks. Our booth will host an internet café so that you can check emails and notify friends of your success. We will be offering t-shirts to the first 2500 people that register at the booth and also have buttons that you can add to your collection!
The PTC workshops are a great way to learn more about our products and how your team can use them in upcoming seasons! Here is a listing of the workshops with their times:
