1A: Onshape Fundamentals

Summary

Congratulations on completing Stage 1A! Remember, practice is essential – the more CAD models you create, the more proficient and efficient you'll become. Using keyboard shortcuts can significantly accelerate your CAD workflow. Be attentive to best practices to avoid developing any bad habits. Keep up the good work!

Here is a quick summary of what you have achieved in 1A:

  • Learned how to use the Onshape interface and basic sketching and modeling features with the Onshape Learning Center courses
  • Learned how to model basic FRC structures
  • Learned how to use the Gusset, Extrude Individual, Tube Converter, and Spacer Featurescripts
  • Learned how to assemble basic models using Group and Fasten
  • Learned about leveraging default geometry to enable easy symmetry with intelligently placed origins

In stage 1B, you will be introduced to power transmissions, which enable your robot to move and score.
