Sept. 2009 CAD-3D Robot

CAD-3d Nano
CAD-3D is an important tool for teaching 3D Geometry concepts. An object can be build using basic 3D objects like an sphere, cylinder, eclipsiod and boxes together with the operations union, intersection and difference  Then objects can be copied, rotated, mirrored and/or shifted. Our end project was to create something like a bridge, building, tractor, device, table setting or whatever we chose to model.


My model was a soccer playing robot named Nano from Aldebaren. Both my universities were in the finals. 
It was UT Austin vs. TU Wien (Vienna University of Technology)
