: As always the drawings are not great. I think this is done on purpose to cause teams to question, communicate and get the details right. The people at FIRST make very few errors, view this as a challenge presented to us, like the real world.

I agree with Rob, AutoCad left to itself would probably dimension things better. By the standards used at the company I work for, the drawings used very poor practice. This is NOT typical of FIRST. Therefore the omissions and poor practice are DELIBERATE. But they also reflect the real world. Because poeple put the things in drawings that are important to them and don't always consider what the guy actually building something really needs.
