Judges will be made aware. All teams are judged against the Robot Design Rubric.

Subject: Re: [VADCFLL-L] Engineering notebook
I have a question regarding below point-
"The Engineering notebook is not mandatory but could be a very useful tool. Teams can bring the engineering notebooks in to use as a talking guide to judges. It would allow them to talk more specifically with the judges about the work they did over the season, the decisions they made, and what was accomplished"
If one teams bring engineering notebook to the tournament and other team does not - how is this going to impact judging ?
I hope judges will be made aware that engineering notebook are optional should not impact how teams are judged.
Thanks and Regards

** The Engineering notebook is not mandatory but could be a very useful tool. Teams can bring the engineering notebooks in to use as a talking guide to judges. It would allow them to talk more specifically with the judges about the work they did over the season, the decisions they made, and what was accomplished. If there are questions as to what is specially being judged, please consult the FIRST LEGO League rubrics. You will see that there is nothing in the rubrics that requires teams to have an engineering notebook, but again, it can be a helpful tool.
We don’t ask for a *team folder* but we do ask teams to bring four copies of their team information sheet to a VA/DC event and the FIRST Consent and Release forms for each student (either a paper copy or electronic list from firstinspires.org) .
Teams also have the option to bring a Core Values poster. This year we are encouraging teams to prepare something for the Robot Design Judging room. On pages 38 & 39 of the Team Meeting Guide, there is a helpful template called the Robot Design Summary. Again, there is no official documentation that has to be turned in but it is helpful to prepare the team to talk about their robot; how they designed it, how they programmed missions, how they developed their strategy, etc.
Just a reminder there will be a coaches webinar happening tonight from 7pm to 8pm. You can register here.

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Engineering notebook
Good morning,
I’m a rookie coach and I like to ask a question about engineering notebook for kids and the folder for the team. Are these required to bring to the competition? Should the kids have filled all 12 sessions? We didn’t exactly follow the recommended meeting schedule and plans. So, I am not sure how to fill them up. As for the team folder, what does it supposed to contain? How detailed should it be? Will be judged for it?
Thanks,
Leyla Nazhandali
