Vex TT Engineering Notebook

I do the notebook for my team.
When we were at worlds we saw many teams using binders as their notebook. Are there any disadvantages to using binders as a notebook? Or should I use hardcover bound notebook?

we got chewed out by a judge once for using a binder…

On the design award rubric, you get three free points for having a bound notebook. Never use a binder.

Our team used a bound notebook with 3-hole punches as our engineering notebook, then put it in a 3-ring binder and included printouts of our code with it. In my opinion this use-case of binders should be fine, especially if you filled up a first notebook and need to continue in a new notebook.

Binders by themselves (ie loose-leaf paper journal entries) should be avoided at all costs though
