Re: Fabrication
3507 is only a second year team, but this is how we've been doing it.
We haven't even been using CADs, since no one knows how yet (working on fixing that next year), but we DO use drawings (obviously). Most of the time this ends up being just a rough draft, but we do make sure to conceptualize EXACTLY how each piece goes where, how it's supported, etc. etc. We do most of the fabrication ourselves. I believe this year the only thing we had machined was our shooter, which was rolled somewhere else - it had to be exactly right. (It was. I honestly believe ours was the most precise shooter at OKC, if we could have known how hard to shoot it. We had a 91% accuracy in the qualification rounds)
In any case... just designing? Where's the fun in that?
