I'm a bit late to this conversation, but the last time I checked CAD was free for FRC teams. Putting 100's of hours into CAD in Weeks 1 & 2 is also free.

The funny thing is, our secret to high-seeding success these last 2 years wasn't "be the best robot". Our secret is to simply work on Friday morning while many other robots are still working kinks out. This is a combination of building within our means during the build season and rejecting overly complex designs.

There's a quote that was repeated many times during the VCU competition and it goes something like this:
"The greatest pep talk in the history of sports cannot make up for a player who has cheated during his preparation. You're either ready or you're not".

Keep steam rollin'. See you at champs?
