CAD

Design robot parts in Onshape — from your first sketch to a full assembly your team can actually build.

1 unit · 1 lessonabout 12 min total

What you will be able to do

Model a complete FTC mechanism in Onshape with fully-defined sketches, proper mates, and drawings your build team can manufacture from.

CAD is where a robot exists before it exists. A team that designs in CAD stops guessing whether parts fit, stops re-cutting aluminium, and starts iterating in an afternoon instead of a week.

This track uses Onshape, which is free for FIRST teams, runs in a browser on any laptop or Chromebook, and has real version control — so nobody ever emails robot_v4_FINAL_final2.step again.
