Later in the curriculum, you will be challenged to come upwith your own creative solutions for robot design. You will save time <strong>and</strong> maximize your ability tocreate winning solutions if your team underst<strong>and</strong>s how to leverage the power of digital prototypesusing Inventor.Build Phase■47
