Evaluate the full process, capture lessons learned, and prepare for competition presentation. This phase ensures continuous improvement, engineering documentation quality, and readiness for judging and future builds.
Performance Review
- Compare robot results to design goals.
- Review match videos and scouting data.
Design Evaluation
- Reflect on what worked and what failed.
- Discuss possible simplifications or upgrades.
Notebook and Portfolio Updates
- Summarize design iterations, testing results, and decision logs.
- Include clear evidence of the engineering process.
Presentation Preparation
- Prepare talking points for judges (Design, Innovate, Think, Control Awards).
- Practice explaining design choices and lessons learned.
Future Planning
- Create a list of “next iteration” goals or offseason projects.
- Archive CAD files and code for next season.
