Re: FIRST Behind the Design Book 3.0 (plan)
Team 3941 CAD modeled our entire robot, twice (when we revised our shooter design) in PTC Creo. We also have 3D printed mini models of our robot in different stages that helped us get a feel for the entire composition early on.
The vast majority of the parts on our robot, most principally our frisbee shooter, are CNC milled; the shooter and loader and almost completely made of CNC-ed wood.
We also used our CNC machine heavily in the prototyping process. We were able to quickly create two working shooters and several more loading mechanisms before narrowing down our solution with the aid of our CNC.
