Hello again all,
It's been awhile since I've frequented these parts, but I thought I would throw
this out there anyway and see if anyone could help me.
I teach CAD at a Community College in Southern California. Our Electronics
Department Head is helping to organize a FIRST Robotics League for this area,
and he invited me to participate.
Questions:
Is LDD (or any CAD system) used by FLL teams? If so, how? Is there someone (e.g.
at Lego) I can contact for more information on this?
I seem to recall asking this in the past and having mentors tell me the kids
don't have the time/skills to learn CAD (they're too busy learning the Lego
structures and building to be concerned with virtual tools). Is this still the
case?
Should I mention LDraw at all? Or is that way beyond the scope of what rookie
teams should consider?
I know Autodesk is a major sponsor of FIRST at the High School level, where they
give the kids Inventor and 3DSMAX to use for designing and presenting their
robots. But do they do anything with FLL?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
