Re: Inventor to reality
As a team, I would say that CAD was very influential to the design of the robot this year, assisting with the design process for both the drive train side plates and all components of the shooter.
However, personally, CAD was the single best decision I have made on MORT. I joined the AutoDesk design team this year (from end effectors) on a whim really, and I would say that the skills I learned this year are probably some of the most important that I'll take out of the FIRST program.
In addition, I know that I'll take them with me when I go back to end effectors next year.
