Re: CAD Team How many members

Really you don't need that many people to get the CAD done, you just need a lot of people do get it done quickly. I was the lone CADder this year, and I had never done a full FRC robot before(my offseason project was swerve). This caused the process to be elongated: I only finished the drivetrain completely end of week 3 and the final hood was done by end of week 5. This cut it really close. I came out a 20 times better CADder than I came into the season as, and feel now, that after I have successfully finished a full robot(we were picked in for elims for the first time), I think I can finish a complete robot in 3 weeks, by myself. So lessons learned: train a lot of people before the season and have them do a full robot(especially with your preferable drivetrain). The benefits are immense.
