The Autodesk Inventor and Animation Committe will be developing the 2008 season Robot using Autodesk Inventor. We will do this in an attempt to make an entry for the FIRST Robotics Championship Award. This year will be the second year we are utilizing this wonderful software. Last year we were unable to make an entry for the Championship Award due to significant changes that we made to Bridgit towards the end of Build Season, not allowing us to produce an accurate model of our final production Robot. Besides solely using this software for the Championship Award, we are using it to develop and design the structural components of our future Robots before the competitive season. Through the use of this program, we can calculate the quantity of the material, the weight, and structural rigidity of the sub-frame and structure. We can also test the functionality of the in game components. The possibilites using the software are endless!
