We also use CAD heavily. Cardboard Aided Design. Which is considerably more accessible and intuitive to most students than the other CAD. |

I think that if you're using semantics to pass inspection you're trying hard to be lazy (Trust me I'm really good at doing it). |

I implore you to not spend your mental energy on preparing your argument for the inspectors. We all have better things to be thinking about and working on. |

If your goal is to make it to Einstein someday, someday you'll have to reach for the stars. It's just that the stars get a lot closer when you spent the offseason developing a rocketship. |

Every single person on the team, read the manual, cover to cover, NO skimming. Do not give the task of knowing the rules to a few people. Do not pass go, do not collect $200, READ THE MANUAL. |
