That seems like a great idea! The past year my team's CADders split into two groups, and had a group vs. group contest to build an arm from Logomotion. It was helpful in learning CAD but not super fun.

How did you organise the teams? Was it just each student worked individually, or more like groups of a couple students and a mentor all competing for the gold?
