[chbot] 3d Design software.

[Chris Hamling]

Sorry, I forgot that everyone that I normally interact with is, in one way
or another, involved with the VEX robotics competition and, as such, would
qualify under the mentoring or competitor category. I guess having access to
free Autodesk software is a reward for passing on the passion.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Chris

There are most certainly limitations to the AutoCAD student edition...

Most of us do not qualify for their free licensing conditions. 
http://students.autodesk.com/?nd=terms_conditions and we do not encourage
piracy around here.
