How to use this wiki

Each system page starts with a plain-language explanation, then moves into operation, diagnosis, and technical detail. Read only as far as the job requires.

Choose your depth

• Understand: Learn what the system does and the words used to discuss it.
• Operate: Know what normal behavior looks like and how to work safely.
• Diagnose: Test from observations before replacing parts or changing code.
• Specialize: Work through design tradeoffs, control behavior, interfaces, and implementation patterns.

Improve a page

Write for more than one season. If a past robot is useful, label it as an example. Name the vendor, software version, or rule set when the advice depends on one.

The Wiki essentials section explains how to edit or add pages, use Markdown and diagrams, preview changes, and publish through a pull request.
