Importing VEX parts

I am doing the CAD portion of a VEX robotics competion. If there is a way to import the metal Vex parts from somewhere please give me the link. I'm not looking for the plastic parts I saw in "VEX Assembly."

 

I need the metal parts seen here: http://www.vexrobotics.com/vex/products/accessories

 

Hopefully I didn't post a question someone has already asked. I'm sorry if I did.

At the bottom of the pages once you click into those things there is a link to the step files, which you can import with Inventor.

Do a normal Inventor open and change you file type to STEP...   Just keep in mind these imported files will be considered as a "dumb" solid.

@w17.benefield

Did you try here?

https://www.autodesk.com/education/competitions-and-events/vex/recommended-software#Kit-of-parts

Or here? 

http://www.mediafire.com/file/nfhyn9jk3vhc1a1/VEX+Parts+Library+2016.zip 

Or ask your teacher to help you model them up?

 

There also seem to be multiple pneumatics kits so you need to be specific about which one you want..
