Devlog 1 - Section 1A

This past week, I focused on CADing for the FIRST Robotics Competition, using Onshape! My team, Arctos 6135, is apparently shifting to Onshape, so this is a good opportunity for me to learn the concepts while everyone is transitioning to this new platform. I started using FRCDesign.org to teach me the various design concepts, and I am proud to say that I have finished 1A!

In Section 1A, I learned about various box tubes (1x1, 1x2), how to CAD them in Onshape, and started learning basic sketching (such as using features like the various rectangles, coincident/tangent, dimension, projection, etc.). I also learned how to create a drivetrain frame and add either boxes (1.5) or triangles (1.6) on the frame.

The attached image shows my drivetrain frame with a triangle, to complete Exercise 6 in 1A:
