Re: CAD Teams

If none of these work out and you are stuck with just one computer, have group CAD sessions. The constant criticism and another pair of eyes allows things to get done right the first time, rather than having to undergo more iterations. Depending on the people, it can give everybody a sense of involvement and contribution.

A large portion of the CAD work done on FRC 254 is done with somebody else looking over the shoulder of the one CADing. Much of the CAD for this year's robot was done on two or three computers, with team members and mentors often working together in one corner of our lab to collaboratively design.
