[FRC-Designs.com] 2012 CAD Challenge

No problem! I just fixed it! Spread the word about FRC Designs!

Thats what I did my first year when I was teaching myself CAD. Even if its not “the right way” to do it, the experience will make the CADing go faster next year. Additionally, documenting the design for after ship day (or bag day now I guess) can come in handy if you decide to use your holdback allowance to retrofit something and need to know what the dimensions were.

Back to the topic in the thread, I believe that Team 2220 Blue Twilight will accept.

Is there a deadline to send the CAD to you guys? Also, are you interested in us giving you our Inventor Publisher design submission videos too?

Thanks,
-Duke

Duke,

Thanks for the question! Due to the rush of build and competition season, there is no official deadline for submissions. I will update the site as they come in! Also, I would love to add a link to Inventor Publisher videos if they have already been put online (Ex: Youtube). Thanks!

Matt

Spectrum should be able to send you our CAD files pretty soon, so you can add us to the list as well.

Sounds great! Thanks!

Just a note to teams who use Inventor:

Inventor Publisher is nice, but if you want an actually good looking render (and one that doesn’t crash every 10 minutes), try Autodesk Showcase. It looks MUCH better than Inventor, and is free if your school buys the suite. Might even be free to FRC teams, too.

Sabre Bytes FRC#772 Just submitted their 2012 robot CAD to FRC Designs! Check it out! http://www.frc-designs.com/html/CAD_2012.html

Now that the 2012 Competition season is over, FRC Designs is looking to add to their CAD Database! Please submit your CAD from the past year!

we need to fix a few things and add in all the small components to make it perfect :wink: well get on that sometime in the near near future for ya!

Same!

75 will upload six designs, from 2007 to 2012.

Awesome! I look forward to it!

The EngineeNERDs (2337) just added their 2012 CAD to FRC Designs! Check it out!

Teams 48 and 3193 will be submitting our 2012 robots (both variants), arm, and drivetrain–we’re just taking the opportunity to clean up the models and include details that were added “on the fly”.

MorTorq - FRC 1515 Joined FRC Designs with their 2012 robot! Check out the link below!

FRC Designs 2012 Robots: http://www.frc-designs.com/html/CAD_2012.html

I might finish our robot in the next couple weeks. Trying to collect models of a few missing components if they still exist. The fact that I’m trying to put in almost every single thing isn’t really helping this time line.

The progress so far:

As soon as we are finished cleaning up the CAD model, Team 846 will have our 2012 robot model ready for you guys!
