[Elpants]

We use Inventor 11 for both purposes.

Being that there are only 2 people who use Inventor on the team this year, me being one of them. We graduate this year.

For the most part we use inventor to create basic assemblies to see if ideas work or not, see if it fits in the robot. Most major parts are designed in inventor and places on the chassis to check for fits, then the design can be modified in the machine shop to fit the limitations of our manufacturing team.

Small parts (electronics, screws...ect) are placed in later after assembly.
