At ShopBot we have a great time experimenting and trying out new
ideas. So as new internet services become available we usually try
them out to see if they might be helpful to the ShopBot Community.
Some like the ShopBot forum work out great from the start, but
others seem to take a little while to pick up momentum.
Here's a list of most of the ShopBot-related resources on the web
for you to check out. All of them benefit from participation, from
adding articles to the wiki and videos to youTube, to giving
feedback on projects in ShopBot Labs. So explore around and let us
know what you think.
ShopBot Forum - The famous ShopBot Forum is one of the most
active product-oriented forums on the web. A great place to ask
questions about a project you're working on, a customization you're
thinking about, or just to hang out.
The ShopBot wiki - The wiki is an archive of ShopBot information
that is created and edited by ShopBotters...a ShopBot "encyclopedia"
of sorts. It only works if enough people contribute and help out, so
please check it out
Dr. ShopBot - a diagnostic wiki that supplements ShopBot
support..check here first if you're having a support problem to see
if it's already been covered by Dr ShopBot.
Project Wizard - Find and download projects to make on your
ShopBot from the ShopBot Project Wizard website, or add your own
original files and projects.
The ShopBot Happenings blog - if the ShopBot wiki is an
encyclopedia, then the ShopBot Happenings blog is a newsletter. It's
a place where ShopBot posts notices about new software releases,
people doing interesting things with their ShopBots, or just things
that interested us. You can subscribe to its
RSS feed to be notified when there are changes, and if you know
of something that might fit in there, please let us know

videos on the web

ShopBotters have created and posted on youTube. If you know of any

ShopBot Labs - A section of the ShopBot website where you can

out and let us know what you think.

the Tools, accessories , and projects are available for download
from the Sketchup 3d warehouse...a create way to help you design
