FRCDesignLib

FRCDesignLib is a library of FRC COTS components and assemblies maintained by the community. The typical way to use it is through the FRCDesignApp, which allows you to insert or derive those components into your documents easily.

Installing FRCDesignApp

FRCDesignApp is a plugin for Onshape that allows you to use a large library of parts that are useful when designing for FRC.

Tip

FRCDesignApp is the plugin/app that helps you insert components into your documents, while FRCDesignLib is the actual collection of components. FRCDesignApp may get upgraded to include more functionality in the future.

To install it, go to the FRCDesignApp page in the Onshape Appstore.

Press "Subscribe", then "Get for Free". This will automatically add the FRCDesignApp to your Onshape account.

Note

After subscribing, the FRCDesignLib inserter won't show up in already open documents until you reload. This is a first-time thing though.
