But he who has deeper insight realizes that concepts and ideas canot be contained in even the largest jar, bucket or box. You cannot touch or see these things, but you can be enhanced with knowledge and experience of them. - sanddrag [more]

Also, most things designed on Team #258 before 2003 was done on paper by hand.

There is nothing wrong with designing something without CAD. Those sketches you link to are more than enough to build a robot out of. The problem is, if you aren't even sure of the general shape of your design yet, it is probably too late to take on a large, two jointed arm.
