Welcome to my CAD library of robot components . Here you will find many models of the components used in current and prior FIRST robotic competitions as well as some other useful information.

I expect to make important additions to this library as soon as the 2010 Kit-of-Parts is released so check back after kickoff.  In the mean time, I'll be posting some additional common hardware items.  

I've added i-Models to the libraries. These models take advantage of Inventor iFactory feature. i-Models are made up of graphic elements that are attached to tables of dimensions. Each i-Model contains many versions of a base part. For example, If you insert the i-Sprocket Model into an Inventor Assembly, you will be asked for the number of teeth, the bore diameter, and keyway details. The iFactory feature of Inventor will then generate the customized part and insert it into your assembly. The i-Models are identified with a i in the lower right corner of the thumbnail.

Notes for first time users:

1. This site now supports mutiple CAD file types. Just click on the file type button next to the thumbnail to download the part model.
2. All Autocad models have been converted to R14 and all Inventor Models are R5,R6 or R10.
3. Manufacturer's web site links have been added. Click on the thumbnail of a part to open the manufacturer's web page (when available).
4. "New", "Updated", and "Obsolete" icons to help you know when a model has changed status.
