module 6 of 8
The pitfalls that quietly wreck FRC CAD models and the concrete fixes for each. Covers mate-connector and assembly failures, in-context and derived-reference breakage, sluggish regeneration in big drivebase assemblies, manufacturability mistakes that turn into scrap at the machine, and version/branching disasters in team-shared documents. Each lesson is a debugging workflow: how to recognize the symptom, find root cause, and apply a durable fix.
Common Mistakes & Troubleshooting is module 6 of 8 in the CAD & Design guide. It picks up where Worked Examples & Mini-Projects left off and hands over to Advanced Techniques & Case Studies. Its 5 lessons are about 165 minutes of the guide's ~18 hours.
