How does producing a complete engineering record make our solution reproducible and defensible?
Learning Intentions:
Complete all five Milestone 4 sections: two-position sketches, full IK calculations for both positions, written justification of math strategy, and structured peer review.
Today's Concept:
Documentation is engineering. A prototype no one else can reproduce is not a prototype — it's a lucky accident.
Today, you produce the record that makes your design reproducible: two-position sketches with every measurement labeled, full IK calculations showing every step, and a written justification explaining why you chose your math strategy. Then you trade documents with another team and review theirs. 'Looks good' is not feedback. The question you are looking for is one your reviewer couldn't answer by reading your work.
