Re: CAD?

Like what was said earlier, start practicing now! It will benefit you enormously!
My team uses PTC Creo because we have mentors who know it very well and you can get it for free from PTC. They also have pre-modeled parts including the entire KOP drivetrain which was super helpful for us this year because we could immediately start designing ball mechanisms.
My team had me and one other person on CAD this year. It didn't work out to well because I also do programming so I had to be in 2 places at once most of the build season. I would recommend having about 3-4 people who know CAD very well, maybe more depending on your team's size. It's very important that they work very closely with your robot design people.

Hope this helps, and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask!
