Can you feel it? The Force is building. And SOLIDWORKS is helping FIRST<\/em>\u00ae<\/sup> Robotics Competition teams build machines that will help them rise.<\/p>\n

SOLIDWORKS is a proud sponsor of over 1,000 FIRST<\/em> Robotics Competition teams<\/a> worldwide, providing free software and support to teams of all sizes, from rookies to well-established robot builders. We are excited to continue our support during the 2019-2020 season, FIRST<\/em>\u00ae<\/sup> RISESM<\/sup> powered by Star Wars: Force for Change.<\/em> And we\u2019re ready to empower FRC teams during INFINITE RECHARGESM<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Teams who apply for SOLIDWORKS sponsorship<\/a> have access to a dozen SOLIDWORKS products, including individual licenses of SOLIDWORKS Premium, SOLIDWORKS CAM, SOLIDWORKS Visualize Professional, the MySolidWorks for Students Community, hours of tutorials, certification training, and so much more.<\/p>\n

The 2020 season marks SOLIDWORKS\u2019 sixth year as a Crown Supplier for FIRST<\/em>. All FRC teams have access to the 2020 Kit of Parts (KOP)<\/a> in SOLIDWORKS and .STEP formats, which they can use to create quick models and assemblies of their robots.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Teams can discover the INFINITE RECHARGE field of play in VR from several different experiences provided by SOLIDWORKS:<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 High-resolution, 360\u00b0 VR images<\/a>, in a web browser or on mobile devices.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 360\u00b0 VR camera flight<\/a>\u00a0around the field, in a web browser or on mobile devices.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With eDrawings Pro 2020<\/a>, you can easily measure the field in Desktop-mode, then dive right into VR-mode<\/a> to explore the field (or your robot) in VR (HTC Vive or Vive Pro).<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Partner company SimInsights created two fantastic VR experiences:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Measure<\/a> the field directly in VR using digital calipers and tape measure<\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Using the XR Exporter<\/a>, import your robot into the field in VR and drive it around like an RC car<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
