This page houses the 2008 RoboCup Mechanical efforts. The 2007 efforts can be found here. All development work will be done in Autodesk Inventor 2008. How to use Inventor and get it can be found on the Inventor How to Guide. Inventor is also available on our CAD Machines in Tin.

Mechanical team meets Tuesday 6-9pm with the general meeting at 7pm and 2-6pm on Sundays. More hours will be announced as deadlines approach.
