Re: Team 8 is proud to announce: SECOND

So how are we judging the practicality of these designs? I can design a lot in CAD that would seem to work ok until I put it to the test in the real world.

As an example, we may put lightweight 1/4" thick 5053 Aluminum rods for our drive train axles but in the real world we know they simply wouldn't be able to stand the stress of a real competition.

Even so, there are 2 returning students who want a jump start on CAD for next year so bring it on
