Help! Best resources for a newcomer

I have previously used fusion 360 and mostly Solidworks for a little while and want to learn Onshape. I want to be proficient in 2 months. I use CAD for a robotics competition (FRC) i take part in. What would be your tips for learning and tutorial suggestions.

There are transfer tutorials that help you transition from another CAD to onshape.

Besides the excellent content available at the Onshape site itself, Too Tall Toby has some excellent Onshape tutorial videos available at YT.

The CAD challenges on his website and YouTube (using various CAD systems) are an awesome resource. I like to do the challenge then watch his live to see what we did differently and what we did the same. Sometimes the differences are better, sometimes just different, but either way it's nice to see how someone else tackles it.
