So, for FRC team 3970, we had a whopping 2 veterans and only one member doing the Creo modeling. I have to say that I'm incredibly impressed by the guy that modeled 90% of the robot in Creo while managing the entire team, building most of the parts and chipping in on the programming side.
The main challenge with this team is getting students trained on Creo in the off-season and then keeping them on the team through build season.
While the team consistently laments not having everything in Creo when things don't get built correctly, they still don't get quite the bang for the buck since most components are cut by hand. My dream is to get them a CNC router or mini mill by next season.
The design is your basic six-wheel custom aluminum chassis riveted together. They're using exercise bands tensioned with 100:1 dual Bane Bot motors and a "chopstick" intake. Shooting is super consistent and it's great at catching.
