Top-Level Assembly
Stack subsystems into one robot — the top-level assembly that combines the drivetrain with a scoring mechanism.
01
The Top-Level Assembly
The highest level: subsystems combined into a whole robot.
- A new assembly above the part models.
- Insert the drivetrain and the scoring mechanism as subassemblies.
- The hierarchy mirrors how the real robot bolts together.

Fasten by Origin
Subassemblies align on their shared origins.
- Fasten subassemblies together using the origin references.
- Manage visibility so you can work on one at a time.
- Example: 1678's 2023 scoring mechanism on your drivetrain.
Key idea
Origins fasten subsystems together.
Same trick, every level of the hierarchy.
Recap
TOP-LEVEL ASSEMBLY
- Top level = subsystems into a robot
- Insert drivetrain + scoring subassemblies
- Fasten by shared origin
- Flexible (moving) assemblies come later
