Autodesk Fusion 360 for Combat Robots

Fusion 360 - Battle Bot building guide.

I will be running a Zero Experience to Building a Battle Bot Training session.

This is aimed at people with no prior experience using Fusion360 or other CAD software. We will cover everything from the basics up to bot building techniques.

If you want a head start I suggest going through TinkerCad guides. TinkerCad is a kiddies version of Fusion360.
It has very basic guides, that explain the fundamental design techniques of CAD - https://www.tinkercad.com/learn/designs

This will be a very very fast passed, crash course overview session.
Please arrive early

We will build an Antweight from the ground up.
You will come out of this with an understanding of things and enough to go away and practice / learn yourself.

This is free, run by a hobby user not a professional or qualified Fusion360 person.
