Re: Does anyone have any tips to Cad and design your first FRC robot?

Like jayred suggested, tutorials are a great way to familiarize yourself with the software and learn whatever you don't know. You want to be familiar with assemblies and how to mate parts together. You are going to have a lot of part files for your robot. I would suggest finding a way to keep all of your parts organized with a filing and naming scheme. This includes parts you make and parts you download.

It would also be helpful to know your current skill level with parts and assemblies and what kind of build system you're using (i.e. metal tubing, sheet metal, pre-fab stock, etc.). That'll definitely help with giving you more tips that are relevant to what you need.
