Re: Drawing templates for kick-off concepts

Interesting idea for a discussion aide. I do it all of the time at work, but, it had not occurred to me to give the team a similar sketch aide. At first I was thinking that the students would be to heavily loaded with the assumptions in the example. Not thinking that things like "size, rail design, wheel count COULD be different.

But, since my team will be kick starting design by using a prototype working chassis for early tests and development--we are making similar assumptions and potentially GUIDING (or over constraining) early concepts.

I think I'll make a similar sketch template using our "starting point" chassis.
