Re: Does CAD get respect on your team?

Nope. The only thing we CAD'd was our frame, and that was to ensure that the hole were in the right place as it's built out of two folded sheets of 1/8th inch. We used it last year and figured that it was probably the reason why we designed and built our robot in the 240 hours leading to the arrival of the FedEx guy. So we didn't use it this year and not surprisingly, we got a little carried away with protoyping and did the same thing, again. So we could probably use it, just don't get carried away. Also, the two years we CAD'd the robot, the robot didn't look anything like the CAD drawing.
