Re: Is CAD essential to all teams?

No, it is not. 624 took a break from CAD in 2009 before returning to it in 2016. If you don't have any experience, it'll take time (maybe 2 years, one for you to get trained in a software of your choice and then another offseason to train others and develop an organization process - there are lots of resources to help with this, specifically 973 and 1114 have some good things to look at on their YouTube channels) to build up a system of using CAD effectively, so in the short term it will probably be better for you to stick with paper and pencil drawings with extensive dimensions. But eventually, as your team grows, your systems become more complex, and your resources expand - CAD will become a very useful tool for you to unlock a lot of potential.
