Re: CAD team
On team 45 we have (in my time here) had a few students who work with a mentor to get the CAD done. Typically the mentor has done the actual CAD on the computer with the students inputting designs and ideas.
Our format for CAD is that all parts for a said robot are in a folder (on one of our two desktop computers) that is named after the robot. All parts are (typically) labeled with a numeric string with name describing the part (i.e. 0001 Shaft Collar). All assemblies start with a common prefix (ours is TK for Technokats), then a numeric string and a description(i.e. TK0045 final assembly).
Since all our CAD is saved to desktops it is always at the shop (although sometimes it is copied to flash drives for external work)
As for the pros and cons The pros are organization and description and the cons are that we have really long parts titles and sometimes there is confusion when we just refer to part numbers.
Hope this helps
