Build / CAD Sub Team
- Start learning Solidworks.
- Install Solidworks on your home computer. Click here for information on doing this.
- Start taking online Solidworks classes. Watch videos and start modeling using Tetrix components.
- To get practices on doing this, a few interested students should start to model the pushbots in Solidworks.
- Work with coaches to organize Actobotics parts. We do not want to have the parts laying all over the place. Come up with a way to organize bins or other organizers to put the parts in. The following requirements should be taking in consideration when designing the storage.
- Portable… small parts should be in containers that we can easily carry to a event.
- Labeled in a way that we can easily find what we need quickly
- Visual… we can even put picture on whatever you want to use.
Business / Marketing Sub Team

Enjoy your week.
