Thank you to Chief Delphi, the mentors, and all the teams that have used SolidWorks over the past 10 years.
Let the fun begin. Marie
Solidworks is so much easier to use than Inventor. It is more user friendly and the environment is a lot easier to grasp.
thank you for providing teams with these files, but is there a way to open the assembly files with solidworks 2013? i keep getting a future version error.
We are working on the 2014 kit of parts now. It will be posted on our website www.solidworks.com/first on January 4. We use 2013 to create the parts.
If you download a part from 3DContentCentral.com, make certain you select the correct year.

Just to confirm: Every team gets a copy of Solidworks for their 2014 build season. Applying for a Solidworks Sponsorship is only for teams who would like to (potentially) receive a monetary award from Solidworks?
Or do we apply to receive a copy of Solidworks for our 2014 season?
>>The reason I ask is that we have used Inventor for many years, but now that one of our mentors has a CNC Router, we want to also use Solidworks because of the ability to use HSMWorks. (This is a CAM program that converts the Solidworks CAD design into G-Code for the CNC Router).

Your team must apply for SolidWorks software at www.solidworks.com/FIRST
Software is not in the physical kit of parts.
Demand is keeping us very busy. Please allow 5 to 10 business days for fulfillment. Marie
Autodesk bought HSM and released a version of HSMExpress for Inventor. http://cam.autodesk.com/hsm
Done. Thank you for the opportunity Marie.
Yes, but at the last it was still in Beta (but from your link, it is released…) HSMExpress for SolidWorks is a mature product that’s available now. From Autodesk
