I love all the terrific responses. My question is then, how did you implement these processes? Did you build a second robot? How big is your CAD sub-team? How did you decide to allocate time for the design, build, test iteration?
Thank you!

For us, we had two students using CAD but there was a huge choking point in our progress last season with only two people creating the content for the entire mechanical team. This season we trained the majority of our mechanical students in CAD making them more responsible for their own ideas and iterative designs. I hope we turn over designs and ideas more quickly this way because we can fail things out that will not work much faster.
Adding an ounce or two of shields is way easier than filling out the mountains of paperwork for that one impatient person to stick their arm into the robot reaching for who knows what only to have their fingers meet up close and personal with a gearbox. - artdutra04 [more]
