Judging Format
This event will utilize digital notebooks for initial judging via a link found within the "My Account" panel of the team contact on RobotEvents. Please scan in any physical notebooks. Teams can bring physical notebooks with them for follow-up interviews if they prefer, but for preliminary judging, only digital notebooks will be assessed.
Initial Remote Judging with In-person follow-up interview -
Engineering Notebooks will be submitted on this platform two days in advance of the event (by 11:59pm on October 26th).
It should be noted that a good notebook shows the collaborative design process and documents the design process to show that your work is origional. Additionally, please try to include experimental data when testing mechanisms, programming, driver/auton skills, driving practice, etc. This data is valuable evidence to support your design choices.
