It's a thing of beauty, and the robots are too.
The "Engineering Notebook" is not a true engineering notebook in the sense that it's almost entirely created after the fact. The students typically go back through our CAD, photo, and video archives, to find the material for the notebook and to reconstruct the full story. This post production process for the past two years had been led by our lead mechanical student, with the assistance of a variety of other students.
