 The point is that while having the abiltity to find information in a variety of reference sources is a useful skill, it does not replace a good, complete, fundamental knowledge of your subject material. - dlavery [more] |

Re: How do you know when to CAD vs draw up on paper quickly
I'm of the belief that every team that can should CAD 100% of the robot, then build from properly dimensioned drawings. The properly dimensioned is the hard part for most.
If this is done, assembly should be painless. Our base went together this year in about 30 minutes, tops. The only interference or fit issue was our battery tray hitting a driveshaft.... and you guessed it, it's location had been changed on the spot from the CAD. Compared to years past with non-CAD designed bases I've worked with, or even CAD designed ones without proper fits and dimensions, it was awesome.
