Notebook is bad

so we have a bad notebook. it has really vague photos and explanations (from the beginning of the season) but we started to take more photos etc, still not good enough. how do i salvage it because we cant even justify our decisions because they were wrong. so another question, how do we justify wrong decisions which we learnt about later on in the season

Engineering Notebook Tips + Tricks

Hi, does anyone have notebook tips?

Notebooking Tips?

So this year, I am planning to make a really good notebook. But, I am still not very experienced and need some help. Some people use binders, but I heard that personally judges like notebooks better. Should I use Autodesk and print out online sketches of the robot? How detailed does everything need to be? Should I use pen or pencil to sketch? Also I am award that the category for this may be off. If it is will someone help me with what category to put it under? THANKS! -Kfc from Team 404

Notebook Organization - Tips Given, Got, and to Get

Sort of a “reverse” Q&A thread about the design notebook. I’m a second-year notebooker, and my school isn’t known for great notebooks, except maybe on one occasion in the past. I’ve been told that my book is “promising”, and I have learned a lot, both in person and from here. It’s far from perfect, and I’m not even sure if it is worthy of a States qualification (Ohio, USA) and probably not a Worlds qualification in itself. However, I have many tips and have gotten many tips. Hear me out on this,…

If you don’t want to look through all of that, here are the basics:

1. DON’T WRITE A 10 PARAGRAPH ESSAY(THE JUDGES WILL HATE YOU)!!!
2. Draw pictures
3. Take pictures to print out and paste on your notebook
4. DOCUMENT EVERYTHING that is important(decisions, why you made those decisions, practice runs, design changes, team roster changes, etc)
5. Add graphs and charts.
   Good luck! - 5020C(Evan)
