I'm not a sore loser... Not at all...
However, I am not particularly interested in entering the Auto Desk Contest next year.
I understand the importance of beautifying your entry and including every detail - its impressive and demonstrates mastery of the program.
But it isn't practical! you don't
need to model all the chains and wires!
Teams that go the extra mile to include those details deserve the championship trophy, but teams that use CAD simply to design and demonstrate robot functions need to be encouraged too!
I would like to see regional awards for CAD that would give the little guys a chance.
