module 5 of 8
Four buildable, step-by-step CAD projects you can complete in Onshape today. Each mini-project mirrors a real FRC subsystem (a swerve drivebase, a single-stage gearbox, a pivoting arm, and a lightened structural plate) and walks through layout sketches, real COTS part numbers, and the exact FeatureScripts and mate-connector moves that make the model manufacturable. Finish all four and you will have a portfolio of parametric models that look and behave like a competitive robot.
Worked Examples & Mini-Projects is module 5 of 8 in the CAD & Design guide. It picks up where Manufacturability, Drawings, BOMs, and Design Reviews left off and hands over to Common Mistakes & Troubleshooting. At ~220 minutes across 4 lessons it is the longest module in the guide, which runs about 18 hours end to end.
