Hello all. I am using this to say about my first robot design and build. It’s a lifter/chucker named master of chuckits.
If anyone knows any good free cad resources please let me know

While I’m a huge advocate of CAD It’s not completely essential for making robots.
That said, Fusion 360 is the best of the free ones with OnShape following.
If you can spring a monthly fee then Solidworks is about £10/mo for a makers licence and I believe it’s the most capable and accessible option that doesn’t have any limits and is a great industry level skill to have under your belt.
I’m using Tinkercad for my first few builds just because it’s so simple and it’s free and unless your looking for an insanely complicated design, it does the job I made no big dill with Tinkercad:

Although, that’s at an ant weight scale I’m afraid I haven’t taken the plunge into beetleweights yet so I’m unsure about cad at that level.
That’s brilliant thanks so much
Looks great so far!
Keep going!

Thanks. Don’t really use cad much so that really helps
