Re: CAD Team How many members

We have 6 students that know how to use Solidworks. Not all of them are capable of designing a complete robot so we split up the tasks and give people jobs that they can actually do in a reasonable amount of time. For example, there are a couple of students that can only make drawings and use them to test out a concept. They are not familiar with using actual parts and assemblies. We asked them to dimension a bridge tipper by finding out the lengths.Later, a more experienced student would create an assembly out of the drawing. Even if someone is not fully capable using CAD, they can still do something to speed up the process.
