Robot from Blue CheeseIntegrate With Wires in SolidWorks

As competitive robot teams continue to push innovation in electro-mechanical design, the SolidWorks Education Community responds with our SolidWorks Sponsorship for robot teams such as FIRST Robotics (FRC FTC FLL), AUVSI, ASEE, ASME, and IEEE featuring the SOLIDWORKS Robotics Suite.

Overall System in SolidWorks Electrical

The summer we have been working hard as a FIRST Robotics Crown Supplier to develop specific FIRST Robot Tutorials.  The SolidWorks Robot Suite is available to all FIRST teams at www.solidworks.com/FIRST.

Also new are Hands on Tutorials for SolidWorks, SolidWorks Simulation SolidWorks Electrical, SolidWorks Composer with the help of our customer SeaBotix. The link to these tutorials can be found in the Getting Started document in the 2014August KOP at www.solidworks.com/FIRST

We are preparing the 2015 KOP to be released at kick off. Now is the time to apply for sponsorship and learn about these robot software tools.

Thank you Blue Cheese for sharing your robot with the SolidWorks Community and thank you SolidWorks interns from WPI and Northeastern University that created this tutorials and documents to help out teams everywhere.  Marie
