I love all the terrific responses. My question is then, how did you implement these processes? Did you build a second robot? How big is your CAD sub-team? How did you decide to allocate time for the design, build, test iteration?

Thank you!
We build a second robot. Our cad team is usually 4 or 5 students and a mentor. We have a build calendar that we've honed over time, but in reality there has never been a year that we follow it to a T. Every team needs a mentor who has a grasp of everything that is going on with the robot and knows when to break process and take a shortcut, or when to call it quits on a mechanism that showed promise but is proving problematic. That program lead mentor is the difference in a lot of good teams.
