One thing to keep in mind when you are CADing the bot is that even though you can draw something, it might be either impossible to make, or really time consuming to make in the way that it is drawn. So, make sure that you and whoever else is CADing knows what the tools you have access to can do, and thinks about how something is going to be made while CADing it up.

For example, one of 971's sponsors does CNC sheet metal and has a laser cutter. So, it's pretty easy for us to design something that's supposed to be bent up out of sheet metal. We don't have access to, for example, a waterjet, so if we wanted to cut something out of a material that couldn't be cut on the laser-cutter, we'd have to work a lot harder to get it cut.
