Courtesy of Raul. Anybody that has seen his design book will know how much time and effort he puts into our robots.

The drawings from the design book are transferred to a CAD program (used to be ProE, now I think they're using Autodesk) to create the blueprints for the fabricators. There are portions of the robot that are designed solely in CAD, but the more critical parts seem to be hand drawn first.

By the end, most if not the entire robot is in CAD and things like capacity and clearance can be visually tested before fabrication.
