  FTC BLOCK PARTY! is played on a 12’x12’ square field with approximately 1’-high walls and a soft foam mat playing surface. Two randomly selected teams are paired together as an Alliance to play one match against a second Alliance. Alliances are designated as either “Red” or “Blue.”     (view in My Videos)  

We finished an exciting episode of PTC's ROBOTALK this Wednesday evening where we discussed how to assemble a robot from the kit of parts. The session began as usual with a video that introduced the concepts of the software kit of parts, assembly using these part files, analyzing the model for mass properties and simulation. Here is the introductory video: Video Link : 3446 After the video, we went through each of the concepts introduced in the video and emphasized important aspects and techniques. Mark Fischer led the discussion and demonstrated how to convert static constraints into kinematic constraints and vice-versa. Mark also showed how to calculate mass properties and how to create the center of gravity as a feature in an assembly. He finished by showing an analysis of a robot rolling down a ramp and tipping because the center of gravity was to far forward. Each of these segments will be posted as videos in the next few weeks.

We concluded the first ROBOTALK session on Creo Parametric last night just in time for the presidential debates. There were a host of attendees that joined us and stayed right to the end. In fact some of the teams asked if we could continue ROBOTALK so they wouldn't have to go watch the debates. Mark Fischer gave those teams some homework and told them to go to the following site and download the Creo Parametric Primer and then complete it during the debates. Here is the link to the primer:http://www.ptc.com/company/community/schools/projects.htm#creoI think that doing the Creo Parametric Primer during the debates would be like jogging with weights on your hands and legs or dribbling a basketball with your eyes closed. You might end up extruding the candidates or revolving their arguments, or maybe even assembling a resonable strategy for solving the deficit. If you were with us last night, you learned about EXTRUSIONS, REVOLVES, and ASSEMBLIES.The webinar began as they usually do with

Hi everyone,I have a Problem by 3d plotting a function.Unfortunally I don't know what the problem is about, I have 3 unit types.W / m²mdegZ-Axis should be W / m²x axis my axis degCould please anybody check my mathcad file and correct the error, or tell me what to do?In the second step I need to insert a constant surface into the plot, with the value of 100 W / m².I want to compare the curve from E.IR with the constant surface. Interesting isevery E.IR value which is above the limit of 100 W / m².Thanks a lot for your help!PS: Here you can see my worksheet, I also attached my mathcad file.Best Regards,Alexander

I am writing with reference to the creo agent startup error.
