The engineering notebook is the pièce de rèsistance of a VEX team. From the engineering notebook, one should be able to follow the entire design process of a team. At a basic level, the notebook should have:

  • Analysis of the game

  • Possible designs

  • Selection of the best design

  • Step-by-step documentation of the building process

  • The full code for the robot

  • Testing and test results

  • Project management notes

In this section, we will be using team 96504C's Spin Up notebook as an example. While this notebook did earn 4 Excellence Awards, it is not a perfect notebook. Still, it's a good starting point.
