Thanks,

Welcome to CD. There is a lot of good mechanical discussion on the new drivetrain pictures being posted if you want to learn a bit about how these robot things run. If you're interested in CAD I recommend fiddiling with it over the summer. I taught myself almost everything I know this way. Go to students.autodesk.com and create an account. If you don't have a school email you'll have to talk to your teacher and ask them to send you a link.

Good luck!
