5(b). Share the engineering notebook, and talk it through

Warning. THIS IS WHERE THE NOTEBOOK IS READ, AND IT IS FAR TOO LATE TO WRITE IT. Five earlier steps put things in it: the task and its approval in 4(a), the drawings and written description in 4(b), the source code sample or the flowchart in 4(d), and the test results, improvements and photographs in 4(e). Then you are asked how well the robot accomplished the task, what you would improve next time, and what you learned about the design process. Those answers come out of a record kept as you went. Reconstructed afterwards, the notebook is a summary rather than an engineering record.
