I hope that next year CADD will take a larger part in the design but it is hard when all the kids really want to do is build.

I suggest you guys do some summer classes in CAD because your teams seems really eager to use computer programs to draft designs, but just doens't have the knowledge. Once you know inventor, it's really easy to use, so I think that a few classes from a mentor or student on the team could really help out.
