[FTC]: How big is your engineering notebook?
 

Hey everyone.

Last year, our team had a notebook that I suppose could best be described as "sub-par".
This year, to try and keep that from happening, we've been working really hard on it.
I was just wondering roughly how long other teams normally have had their notebooks.

Right now, ours is looking somewhere around 60 pages (digital).

Thanks.

I've seen quite a few as a judge.. and length isn't the most important thing. You should have lots of content, explaining the thought behind decisions you've made, detail and documentation of things you've done as a team, that is easy enough to pick out.

60 pages probably has a solid amount of content, but in reality, it should be as long as it needs to be. I wouldn't worry too much about how long others' are, or how many more pages you could add, but how much other valuable content that shows off your team well. But if you're working hard on it, and being diligent about adding everything you do, you're probably doing the right thing, or at least much closer than last year.

Alright, thanks.

I think our notebook in good shape then.

Since our notebook was sort of 'lacking' last year, we didn't really have a good idea of what is around normal.

Didn't want to show up to the first competition and find out that (figuratively) everyone had a much longer, more detailed notebook, or find out that they all had much shorter notebooks and that was the standard.

Ours is approximately 125 pages.

Last I checked, our team had a 100 page notebook. I believe it is only about 80 after condensing it, however
