As mentor I keep a notebook for each new robot. I use a big 3 ring binder. I print out the rules and updates and KOP list, and keep them in it, so we have a handy reference. I print data sheets for components we are planning on using, and those we buy, so we can have the data handy. I keep all the sketches I make (and a lot of sketches that students make and leave laying around), and try to date and attribute each one. A few other things make their way in there too. Wiring info about the robot, etc is nice to have in a place you know where to find it.
