2. The process
Step-by-Step CAD figures with annotations (text labels pointing to robot parts) of your robot at key positions of completing its task. CAD models are easier to understand than photos, and are a requirement of MAE3. You can add annotations from within Inventor Drawing or through a program like Photoshop . Do NOT use explosions of an assembly since you are not discussing how to assemble your robot, but how it works.
