[4.5]: By “Pre-Construction Modelling” I mean creating a CAD model of the robot before it has been physically constructed. This serves multiple purposes such as allowing foresight of possible problems or difficulties that may arise so that alternative methods and solutions can be found before they pose bigger problems during the construction period. In many cases, it would be beneficial if potential investors could view the professionally modelled product, along with dimensions, to confirm that the design is physically plausible.

[4.6]: By “Post-Construction Modelling” I mean creating a CAD model of the robot after it has been physically constructed. This will thus serve for display purposes only and will not help in pre-construction management. It is useful for presenting the completed product and to show dimensions and inner components that would otherwise be concealed by casing.
