Re: CAD

I was a CAD-Master for my team for the past 3 years, and I think that the most helpful thing for my CAD / Design skills was to design a unique robot for every year of FRC since its start. While it was a daunting summer project, I feel it really helped me during the 2012 season.

Re: CAD

I definitely agree with CADding something before the season, though CADding a robot for EVERY FIRST game seems a little much. Maybe 1 or 2 games. I personally CADded a swerve module in the offseason. It was okay, and I learned a lot from it, but we probably will never use it. Because this year was my first year CADding during the season, and I had basically no help in the CAD aspect, there were a lot of things that I learned to speed up the process during build season, instead of before, and I feel that I was less prepared than I could of been, had I done a full robot. For this reason, I recommend CADding at least one robot. Also, choose a drivetrain that you are likely to go with during the season, as you should be able to reduce a lot of time spent during build season, as long as you practice in the offseason.
