Of course we still draw, but not an in-depth kind of drawing. Its more of a "heres my idea", and then the specifics are figured out through prototyping.
This was just my view, I was not taking a shot at successful teams. What they do looks and preforms amazing, so whatever they do works.
I'm not against using cad, we cad things as well. Our 8wd was made in cad before we built it. So was our shooter. But theres no reason the kids can't make them as well, especially if you have a large amount of students that are interested in machining. Teach them how to do it professionally.
