VEX EngiBook: Team Notebook

VEX EngiBook helps VEX Robotics teams keep a proper engineering notebook — the kind competition judges actually want to read — without the hassle of a shared spreadsheet or a notebook that only one student ever touches.

WHY TEAMS USE IT

Judges score notebooks on whether teams followed a real engineering design process, not just on how many pages they filled. VEX EngiBook is built around that process from the ground up: every entry is tagged by category and Engineering Design Process step, so your notebook naturally documents the full cycle — Define Problem, Brainstorm, Select Solution, Build, Test, Evaluate & Redesign — instead of turning into an unstructured build log.

KEY FEATURES

• Guided entry creation — pick a category and EDP step, and the app suggests what to write about, so students always know where to start
• Team collaboration — invite your whole team with a single code; everyone documents in the same shared notebook
• Photos — attach up to 5 photos per entry, straight from the camera or your gallery (hand-drawn sketches included — judges love seeing real design thinking)
• Offline-first — write entries with no connection; they sync automatically once you're back online
• One-tap PDF export — generate a clean, judge-ready PDF of your entire season's notebook
• Meeting scheduling & attendance tracking — keep a record of who showed up and when
• Built-in Rubric Checker — scores your notebook against the same criteria judges use, so you can fix gaps before competition day
• Help & Glossary — EDP steps, VEX terminology, and judging tips built right into the app, for students and mentors new to competition

WHO IT'S FOR

Built for VEX IQ, VEX V5, and VEX U teams — students, mentors, and coaches who want their notebook to reflect the work the team actually did, all season long.
