Have you fully planned everything in CAD with your robot at this point?

The reason I ask this, is because swiss-cheesing a robot at this early in the game without knowing what will be mounted on it along the way is not the best of ideas imho.

We've prematurely swiss-cheesed chassis other years, only to have a nice hole right where we want to mount something.

CAD planning can help avoid that, but since most team's don't use that to it's full potential, swiss-cheesing at the last week, as opposed to the first week, is probably the best way to go.

Just wondering why you chose to make so many holes so soon.
