Anybody using Mathcad to design your FIRST FRC/FTC robot??

I just want to throw this question out to the community. Are you using Mathcad in any way, shape or form to help design your FRC or FTC robot?

As a mentor, I'm just dying to use this stuff, I just haven't found the time to implement it and don't have the teacher involvement to help...yet.

I would love to hear ways that other teams are using Mathcad.

    yeah, we are using mathcad. We used it in the calculation of the transmission and motor for our robot. (you know, friction, torq and rpm).

    I saw a lot of excel files published that do that but mathcad is much better for this purpose.

    That is great to hear Itzik!

    May I ask what team you mentor/coach? Also, any chance that you would be willing to share the Mathcad document?

    There is an excellent spreadsheet on Chief Delphi that I was thinking about converting to Mathcad. I just need to somehow find time to do it

    I am mentoring team 3316 In Israel.

    Sure I will share it (I was actually planning to). I just need to do some final touchups so everyone can understand it (not only me and my team) and ill post it here and in chief delphi.
