I wanted to announce that I am starting a new open source project. I want to create and release the CAD models for some of the best robots that have been made in vex over the past few years. I got inspiration for this from another competitor many years ago that did something similar with 1103’s Roun…

Yo everyone, have some updates. Last fall, the project started getting hosted on the Purdue SIGBots Wiki with the VexCAD libraries. Not sure if I mentioned that but it is here for some better viewing: [image] Remembering The Best Look at and appreciate some of the best Vex robots in CAD …

This is a pretty cool project Zach. If I may add some suggestions to your already star-filled list (Aside from 929 bots), some teams that come to mind are -2587Z Skyrise -400X NBN -8000 Starstruck -62A ITZ -448X Turning Point Thanks for deciding to complete this project and i wish you the best…

Also maybe AURA from starstruck

You could go with 35216C if you need examples of what NOT to do. Source:Was practically the only person who worked on it willingly (seeing as my parters goofed off the whole time)

How about QCC2 from skyrise? Definitely my favorite vex robot of all time. [2015 VEXU World Championship Match 2]

Update: added chain to the 2587Z NBN cad file and made a new render: [Final%202587Z%20with%20chain%201] [Whoops%2C%20accidentally%20clicked%20render%20button%20i%20guess]

Is that a maybe to a second series of worst robots?

Where can I got my bot in blue and gold chrome? I swear I will get this even if it means taking up my entire budget

Im pretty sure that 2587 just used Rustolium paint every year. 169 last year got the robots anodized and a lot of FRC teams do powder coating. All of those will produce a similar look but painting is the cheapest.

The point of this project is to be a resource for teams to take inspiration for some of the best teams and robots in the world. Taking time to CAD the worst robots would not only waste time, but not be helpful to anybody. I didn’t mean to sound rude, I just wanted to get the point across.
