CAD was essential for our team this year most especially in trying to design components to fit in such a small envelope.....i.e. going under the low bar.
We upped our game in recent years because we were able to get several CAD mentors assisting our students. They also happen to be our former students.
CAD has become much more essential before we manufacture anything in our shop and a big part of our system to go from concept discussions to fabrication of parts.
However, we are learning much like many others that just because you can draw something, doesnt necessarily mean it'll work.
But each subsequent year, we are getting better at it through experience. Definitely worth having CAD as part of our build process.
