I'm currently in limbo between my high school team and a team to help out with during university, but in the meantime I'm keeping myself busy designing a transmission. I initially tried designing in imperial (since that what's what I was used to through FIRST), but after not too long I gave up in frustration and switched to metric. I had to recreate the whole thing, but I thought it was definitely worth it. Almost every single dimension is an integer, and typing dimensions is a lot easier - 5 millimetres instead of 3/16 or 0.1875 inches. Now if only I could figure out why Pro/ENGINEER thinks the default metric unit of mass should be the tonne...
