That's very interesting to me. I've always seen detailed CAD as the mainstay of every highly competitive team, and I'm interested in how a multiple time Einstien winner can perform extremely well and not do a detailed robot CAD.
For instance, how did you know that your climber could grab levels correctly, that nothing would break under stress, that screws would clear other parts, that there would be enough room for electronics or other mechanisms, or that you'd be under weight? Frankly, I don't think I could design a robot without detailed CAD. Things are so many times different sizes than we think them to be that simply fitting everything together would be a huge challenge, at least for me.
Can you shed a little light on your design process?
