This sort of thing happens all the time on many teams. Our robot was almost entirely machined from drawings (At a local community college and by Northrop Grumman Machinists) and very few parts had to be adjusted to fit. Mainly just some filing to take off a few thousandths.
I don't want to make assumptions so I won't name teams, but I bet there are a good number whose students have this ability.
