OK.

Say we obtain a sponsor that can do various fabrication, waterjet cutting, CNC machining, etc.

At that point I have another question. Our team organization is based around the fact that everyone works with what we have and is contributing to an assembly.

With most of the design/assembly itself being done in CAD and then sent off, what does the mechanical team do? In essence, if the drivetrain is being made in CAD and made my a sponsor, what does the actual mechanical team do while the design team is CADing it and sending it off?
