Re: CAD on your team?

On 93 everything is drawn up in CAD before it is allowed to be manufactured. We assemble the entire robot in CAD and we know what it will look like before we are finished. I think this is a great idea to use, it will aid in repeatability for others to do, and for you to do if something ever breaks. We also have a naming program for our parts too, which really helps out our machining team when they need a part drawing printed off.

They need to be green anodized, and then assembled with yellow anodized spinners. ... and then, on the spinners, you can etch "JVN is a dweeb". That would be cool. -Andy B.
