This year we received 75 points and 11th place. Not bad for a 1 person team. This was significantly down from our 2004 score of 98 points. However, it is entirely possible that all scores went down and therefore there was a steeper curve. I'm now curious to see where we placed in 2004 (but it's too late to find out, I guess).

I just opened streamline and counted 55 entries (excluding empty folders).

I sent in & received our score today. I have no problem sharing our score, but I want to check with our mentor be for posting it (I don't think he will care, but I'd rather check). This is our first award submission, but we have done CAD in previous years. For the 4 years I've been on the team we have done some CAD each year, more & better the more recent. The part of CAD that I was most pleased with this year was drawing most parts before they were made, we have a history of building with the "design on the fly" style.

We had more CAD people this year than we did last year. Most of the work last year was done by one student, this year we had 3 students and 1 mainly CAD mentor. One of the biggest challenge is keeping track of who's doing what and which files are the most recent. On a side note what methods of management have people found effective, I'm curious to see what others do to handle the madness?
