Exactly.

For me, the motivation is to have a library of modular robot components we can draw from on the very first day of kickoff. These components (loaders, shooters, kickers, manipulators, etc) are far more useful when they're well-documented - whether you're using them as-is or customizing the design.

I think part of why people (both students & mentors) struggle to recognize the value of good documentation is that they've never really seen it, so I'm looking for examples of great documentation as well as hearing what processes other teams use.
