Re: Team 254 Deadlift Technical Binder 2015

As always, the design binder is amazing.
I've got a few questions about the design process and the robot itself.

From what I can see, you guys have almost all of the robot in CAD before you start making parts for systems other than drive. At what point in the season do you finish drivebase CAD and the rest of the CAD? How many people do you have on your CAD team, and how long do they work to get it done?

Finally, does your team use any type of version control for SolidWorks, either EPDM or workgroup? If so, what type of server/computer does it run on?

It looks like you had no way to adjust chain tension this year. Would you recommend running a chain in tube drive system with no tensioners in a more aggressive game, or would you probably switch back to an adjustable and accessible design?

I've also seen your team run 3mm pitch pulleys off the output shaft of the RS-775 motors many times. Are these pulleys you make yourselves with a press fit for the motor shaft, or are they something else?

What material was used for the friction brakes?
