In the past I think we've tried to use CAD to design our whole robot, but we've run out of time and haven't gotten the robot built in time and have always been working frantically in the pits trying to get it done. This year we used CAD a little bit. Just a 2-D drawing of the side view of our 'bot and the puck. Good thing we've got our ME that's working with us on a total volunteer basis (seeing as he's unemployed and all) because if we didn't have him, we wouldn't have known that if we'd tried getting up on the puck with our original design, it wouldn't have worked. We would've gotten stuck because our back end would have been 2' into the ground, well according to the CAD drawing. So, we fixed our design so we wouldn't be stuck. We hadn't even thought of this problem before we'd put in on CAD. Over the summer I'm hoping to learn CAD a bit better than I know it now. From what I'm hearing it will really help in the design of the robot. And it might be good seeing as though I'm going into engineering and all...
