Re: How many Inventorians?

There are actually around 7 or 8 cadders on 1072 but they are very slow and don't have much experience with designing. I, being a rather impatient and fast cadder, would take the parts that they couldn't do well/in time, and ended up doing everything. For one thing, it took too long to finish the cad because I had other obligations and could only work on one thing at a time, and for another, we had a couple of annoying (although fortunately not critical) design flaws because there was no one to look over the cad closely enough to catch errors. Looking back on the season, I realized that (a) the new cadders did not get enough experience and (b) I was completely burnt out after all that cad. We will definitely invest more time into training the new cadders next year.
