JUDGING & NOTEBOOK

Documenting the engineering design process can be a game-changer for a robotics team! A well-documented journey not only helps your team(s) stay organized but also holds immense importance for your team throughout the season and better prepares them for the interview process.

While Engineering Design Notebooks are not mandatory for participation in the robotics season, they serve as invaluable tools for students, facilitating the documentation process and better preparing them for adult interactions. Moreover, the documentation in these notebooks plays a significant role in determining a team's eligibility for judged awards at competitions. If you're new to documenting the Engineering Design Process, we recommend starting your journey by reviewing the Get Started Guide provided below:
