This is the github repository for the 2020 CAD model. there are separate folders for parts, assemblies and design definition information (interfaces)

setup environemtn

Making Edits to the Reposity before making any changes please make a new branch

Adding Parts ADD ALL PARTS TO THE PARTS LIBRARY regardless of if they are used for your assembly or all assemblies.

Adding General Assemblies ADD ALL GENERAL ASSEMBLIES TO THE OTHER ASSEMBLIES folder under assemblies library. this will ensure that assemblies that are not specific to one system can be used by all groups (example would be the VEXpro linear motion kit assembly). please do not delete these assemblies or make edits to them without consulting the other subteams as this may break other assemblies (a better alternative is to create a copy and add Rev#.# after).

Adding Subsytem Assemblies ADD ALL ASSEMBLIES SPECIFIC TO A SYSTEM TO THAT SPECIFIC SYSTEM. If subteams only use their folders to add assemblies there is no way to accidentally commit changes to the wrong assembly.

Interfaces PLEASE DO NOT EDIT INTERFACES UNLESS YOU ARE MANUFACTURING DIRECTOR OR HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED TO DO SO BY THE DIRECTOR. the point of interfaces is to create a constant mating point between the subsystem and allow changes to be made within subassemblies without breaking the 6059Robot assembly
