Your score on GrabCAD is not terribly important, but it is nice to have a better score, and not be "ranked" dead last on a site with four million users. What can you do to increase your score?

I Built a Military Robot

43 6 Intermediate
Mobile, military robot optimized for use in desert environments which can be controlled remotely or autonomously and can collect/ stream video to a VR headset via its front mounted camera. The method of movement is a continuous track, created using steel roller chain connected by fasteners with 3D printed links. These loops sit on a custom designed drive sprocket and idler sprocket with 4 shock absorber loaded roller pins that act as the suspension system. The drive motors are powered by '18650' batteries, directed by a raspberry pi 4 and connected to a motor controller. For connectivity, a mobile device can connect to the pi's external antenna as it is a WiFi access point. From here, directions can be sent to the robot from the mobile device using the Node Red GUI and additionally, the entirety of the main raspberry pi computer can be accessed for the use of sending custom commands for autonomous movement.

Simple motion study with SolidWorks

9 1 Beginner
This tutorial introduces a quick and easy way to do a motion study. It just takes a few minutes to draw a stick diagram and add a few dimensions and mates, and then animate the diagram to show how the parts move and interact with each other. (Of course we could make an assembly of fully detailed parts for a motion study, but that takes more time and more work) I first learned this technique with CATIA sketches, and it's just as useful with SolidWorks.
