Creating a Mastersketch

What are Mastersketches?

Mastersketches are the foundations of a good robot cad. They act as blueprints you can base the rest of your robot after. It's crucial to have an accurate and realistic mastersketch. The one limitations is that it is 2d, so 3d details can be harder to diagram.

Creating a Mastersketch:

1. Start with the drivebase.

Create a basic drivebase. It doesn't need to be detailed, just get the correct measurements.

Make sure the measurements are accurate to the game manual, Not this picture.

2. Create the subsystems. 

Add in each subsystem into the mastersketch.

*Use different sketches for each subsystem, and use sketch relations to add movement (It doesn't need to be fully defined)

Label as much as you can, Even individual measurements.
