Also, most things designed on Team #258 before 2003 was done on paper by hand.
There is nothing wrong with designing something without CAD. Those sketches you link to are more than enough to build a robot out of. The problem is, if you aren't even sure of the general shape of your design yet, it is probably too late to take on a large, two jointed arm.
