Production Timeline
In an especially intensive FRC game, what would be a realistic production timeline, with an extremely well prepared team:

Assuming I have a fully CADed robot. Assuming the creation of each component and assembly of each mechanism have been separated into individual, well documented, tasks. Assuming I have fairly advanced shops (Polytechnic level CNCs, Sheet Metal Shop, Lathe, Welder, Drill Press). Assuming that we have students, well trained on the machines, who are working 12hrs a day (Yeah, that's right! Here in Calgary we get school off for all of January). How long would it take to go from a CAD to a robot?

I would also love time estimates for individual tasks.
