engineering notebook content reveal

[@locky9198]

What do you use for the Report Format? I can't seem to find a good application to do it on. Thanks for the videos, theyre extremely helpful!

I currently use Google Documents for easy sharing. I tried using Notion, but it's not free (it has a block cap) and it's a headache to transfer over to Google Slides. Hope this helps! :)

At my school I didn't have anybody to teach me about engineering notebooks. This was able to teach me so much at the start of the year and our team was even able to win vex iq excellence at worlds. Thank you for sharing your notebook process. - 10698D

Love to see it

[@sidn4257]

yeah i agree

Hi! Thank you for creating this series, it’s been a lot of help! I saw in a previous video that you were doing a digital notebook and I’d like to know your opinion on it compared to doing it physically if possible!

[@kaikai-e4w]

I know I'm not her but I use a digital notebook and it's way easier in my opinion. I was even able to win excellence at worlds this year using one

[@L.Asters024]

@@kaikai-e4w Wow that’s amazing! Thanks for ur reply and input, I appreciate it!

[@mistermeep7475]

hello! this whole series has been very valuable ^o^ what markers/highlighters did you use? i dont want to test any because im scared theyll bleed through lol

[@ddgale]

I used zebra mildliners for the first and second years, then switched to an amazon dupe of the mildliners (which worked equally well). For the body of text I used Pilot G2 0.5mm in black and for the colored pen headings I used Pilot G2 0.7mm or 1.0mm. Mildliners are awesome if you're doing a smiliar format as I used because they have the thick side and a thin side, but if you're looking for a highlighter that has a thick side and a small side (0.4mm or so) then I recommend the Uni Propus Window highlighters (available on amazon in a pack of five, I believe?) I've recently transitioned to those and they work really well and don't bleed. (Notably however, with the GSM of the paper engineering notebooks these days, only colored marker and sharpies will bleed through iirc) Hope this could answer your question, I'm glad you enjoyed the videos! :)

Just curious, would you be interested in joining the vex notebooking server? Would appreciate having you join.

[@ddgale]

Yes, that'd be amazing! Thank you so much for the invitation! :)

[@dylanlak]

@9MotorGang is this a publicly available server?

thanks good vid

What school are you from cause your coach must praise you, also this is such an inspiration.

[@ddgale]

thank you so much!! (my organization is entirely student-led so we don't have coaches.)

[@steveparker3148]

@@ddgale Thats so cool that you do student-led and that just makes you more of an inspiration that you can do this

Why do you have more header files than cpp files?

[@ddgale]

we put all the various functions into header files, then assembled them for the auton programs in the cpp files. the reason we had more header files than cpp files is because we have a ton of different categories of individual functions! this arrangement style made our auton finessing easier, as well as debugging. our code was pretty organized... 😂

[@ecstaticpilot5656]

Do you have code in the header files or just prototypes? If it's just prototypes then I would recommend splitting the autons.cpp into multiple c++ from files.
