Re: CAD?

Practice is a huge thing. The more experience the members have working with the programs the faster the modeling will go. As far as modeling software is concerned, there aren't significant differences between Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks or PRC Creo. You get all three for free through FIRST (I think), along with Inventor being free for all students regardless of FIRST affiliation.

With two people modeling (one person with a semester of experience and another with 2 years) it took is 2-3 weeks to get a full model done, but with more experienced members and probably 1-2 more people modeling we're hoping to get it down to 1-2 weeks
