01 / set a direction
Make a plan
Our off-season goals: learn new skills, build confidence, and work toward the next challenge
The Gearcats / ftc 7305
The ideas
behind the build
Our engineering notebook is a place for questions, goals, and step-by-step thinking These are real photos from the Gearcats’ notebook, shared as a look at how we learn
From the Gearcats notebook
Before the robot,
there’s a page
Ideas in pen Questions in the margins These photos come straight from Team 7305’s engineering notebook Select a page to take a closer look
02 / work through the details
Write the steps
A notebook record of robot-arm assembly, from screws and mounts to the lead screw
03 / stay curious
Ask what’s possible
What could a robot sense? Our notes explore color, distance, and ideas for autonomous movement
These are working notes—ideas and questions are part of learning, not finished instructions
A record of the process
The page is part
of the project
An engineering notebook helps a team keep track of ideas, decisions, and what it learns These pages show goals, robot-arm assembly notes, and questions about sensors
They are working notes A question on a page is a starting point for learning, and an assembly note is a record to check against real parts
The photos on this page belong to Team 7305 Gearcats They do not show the Cougears’ robot or notebook
