So both Autodesk products are free for me as a student so cost isn’t a problem, in terms of general cad many people recommend Innovator but in terms of Vex, which is more recommended?

Would you recommend this or Autodesk’s VEX kop?

This one. It is more up to date and has lots of nice features.

I used Protobot and it worked well, there is ways to get it online easily and it’s relatively easy to learn and use. I haven’t used the other two softwares you mentioned though, so take my recommendation with a grain of salt.

Should I 3d model my Vex robot in Fusion 360 or Inovator Pro?
