Color is something I like to see of course, but not too much color or no color at all. Too much color could take away from main points and no color, like you mentioned, is boring.
For scores, I don’t know if you meant it this way, but I go to VEX Via for my team scores and screenshot that into the notebook. I also like putting in pie charts of my win-lose-tie ratio from each tournament.
I don’t know if you like that idea, and I don’t know if that’s what you meant by the last bit, but that’s what I do.

I like that you include this information in your notebook, but by personal preferences, I like getting scores as a screenshot directly from VEX Via. It looks more “official” in my opinion.
Nice notebook though!

i don’t have many program pages since my programmer never really shared that. but how do we feel abt having pages showing brain ports and controller buttons?

That looks awesome! I would try to have better communication with your teammates though and try to discuss with them about their progress. It helps with the notebook.
Definitely keep this though!

Okay @6008Y.milee
I promised I’d show you my notebook,
This is my first time working with the digital format so I’m still getting used to it. I won’t post all the pages but here’s some examples (it’s not in order, I just chose some random pages):
Like I said, I left out some pages. Also I did include sections dividers.

I will add that I am more used to the physical format.

i like it. it’s a good start. i will say that digital notebook (from past experience) does get over looked. mine was okay but it did not get the same attention as physical notebooks. i can share a couple pages from my notebook

can you explain your page number format? i saw they they are not the traditional format (1,2,3,4 etc.)

Yeah, I would be happy to!
I split the notebook into sections, and I used abbreviations to represent the section titles. For example, section Game Analysis is section GA. The page number is how many pages in it is from the section divider.
Like I said, I am more used to the physical, but my organization wants all of us to switch to digital, so I’m still learning.
I would love to hear your opinions!

Anytime! Your notebook looks awesome by the way! I love when notebooks are creative but still organized and people can be inspired by the creativity. Don’t you agree?

yes!! thank you!
this year i will be able to help the younger kids from my school, since they don’t know much abt the notebook. they mostly focus on building and programming, and the coach for the younger kids love to see the progress they make after i little help.

Do you use the “project” label on each page? If so, how specific do you make it? (Drivetrain versus Drivetrain Gearing Iteration 1) Thanks!
Not sure if this was a question for me, but my project titles are basically a couple of words summarizing the topic found on the page.
