Autodesk Vault is definitely the best solution for collaboration but does present issues in the school lab or FRC lab environment. In reference to the server, one computer (managed by the CAD manager) can act as the server and the other machines are the clients.
Autodesk A360 is an easier starting point in that it is cloud based and each team member can have their own accounts. It does provide the security of Vault and the Check In / Check Out work flow, but it is a good first step in data management.
Email me to discuss further.
