Re: Design Software
The teams I've been on all start the season with the intention of using Inventor or Solidworks.
2 weeks later we're all sketching stuff out by hand on white boards.
The big advantages of CAD software are kind of lost in FIRST, where the emphasis is on quickly producing one off parts. If FIRST were on a longer time scale and robots had to compete year after year (the game was the same year to year), I think there would be much more benefit from using Inventor or Solidworks. As is, I don't think most teams really utilize it and probably never will.
