CAD Drawings?
Posted by Rick Gibbs, Engineer on team #145, T-Rx, from Norwich High School, Sherburne-Earlville High School and Procter & Gamble Pharmaceuticals.
Posted on 4/15/99 8:44 PM MST I'm curious to find out how extensively teams use CAD when designing and building their robots. Working for a pharmaceutical company, our mechanical engineering expertise has been limited to say the least. Chemical engineers and chemists? We have plenty. It's often said that if the competition were to design and build a big tablet, we'd win. Anyways, until this year, when we recruited our first and only M.E., we haven't had any major CAD expertise to speak of. So, are we in the minority not using CAD significantly? Do any teams design their robot 100% by CAD? On a similar note, here's an idea. Is anyone interested in posting CAD drawings of robots or components? I know there are several robots that have some very creative and elegant engineering. Sharing designs could be beneficial to everyone - maybe in next year's designs, but more importantly in helping teach engineering concepts in the 'engineering- challenged' teams. Just a thought.
