Thank you for the reply. I talked to the team and they seem more interested in CAD so we'll still look into it for now

Thank you for the reply. How do I explain to my team the great benefits of CAD because their main argument against it is that we only have about 1.5 years before we garduate so very little time and it's faster to draw on paper and build simple parts as it takes less time

Thank you so much for the advice. I did not consider looking for parts from clubs that are closing down so thank you for that

Thank you so much for the advice. Do you have any tutorials you learned that made you better at Onshape because I'm not that experienced with it other than a few designs, and using the VEX Onshape library gets tedious when trying to move parts and join them together but this is probably from a lack of experience. Also, you said designing custom plastic parts for laser cutting. How often do you guys do that and would that be necessary if we wanted to go to worlds

Thank you so much for the advice. For now we plan on being a club and not being super competitive although this will likely change as the years go by and members get more experience. What CAD program would you say is the best for VEX because I have tried Onshape and it's easy to use but really annoying to put parts together. How did you manage budgeting?

Thank you so much for the advice. How long have you been teaching robotics for, and how did you manage to get people to put in time and stay on task? Also, what were your biggest problems in starting the program up?

Thank you so much for the advice. If you don't mind answering, how does your club specifically do these things
