History of Husky Robotics Engineering
Husky robotics has been competing in the University Rover Challenge since 2013, and has designed and built a new rover each year since then. In addition to the competition rovers, we have had a variety of side projects over the years both related and unrelated to URC. We encourage all members to explore the documentation on these past projects to learn from our mistakes and successes in the past!

Learning Resources and Instruction Manuals
Welcome to the learning resources and instruction manuals section! This should provide you with a variety of tools for performing commonplace tasks or learning important topics. If you don't know how to do something, check here first to see if there's a guide on how to do it!

HOW TO USE THIS WIKI
Home Page Prototype

WIKI GUIDELINES --- READ THIS BEFORE EDITING

This wiki is intended to be a home base for Husky Robotics members from which any documents or resources relevant to the team can easily be found. It also serves as an information repository to allow members of Husky Robotics to easily create and consume technical content, both educational resources and comprehensive information about current and past rover designs.

It is organized into two major sections of documents: Team Resources pages are intended to be learning resources for the team. Pages on commonly learned subjects will be formatted and curated to help the user learn efficiently and will include links to external learning resources such as books, presentations, videos, and articles. This includes a comprehensive onboarding curriculum to allow new members to get oriented to the team and learn the most important basic skills quickly and efficiently, and standards documents outlining technical and document standards specific to Husky Robotics. Pages on more niche subjects may only be a collection of links, mathematical statements, mechanical drawings and figures, and other information, and can effectively serve as an individual engineer's notes on a given subject made available to the whole team. If you are researching a specialized topic within engineering, you are strongly encouraged to make a page and link to it here to enable others to learn the topic more quickly and easily.

On the other hand, Documentation and Archive pages are resources describing the history of Husky Robotics rover designs. These will be technical repositories of the design documents, decisions, and design objectives behind all previous rover designs. Current documentation should be updated on a regular basis from meeting notes whenever major milestones are reached. Teams may use either the wiki via the meeting minutes standard or clickup for meeting notes and documentation. Archival documents are documentation pages which outline designs which are no longer active.

Getting Started
Create an account for the Husky Robotics wiki and direct message Dylan Klavins on Slack with your username to be added to the members list for viewing and editing permissions. Members new to husky robotics should then work through the onboarding resources. Once you have done this, create your user page with some short description of your role and experience and link it in the members section below!

Team Resources
Any information you need as a chassis team member can be found in this section, including engineering educational resources, tutorials and references for all common processes and software we use, and guidelines for communication and documentation. This should be the first place you should go if you have a question about technical subjects

Onboarding
Welcome new members! Check out the Chassis Onboarding page for a comprehensive list of things to do to get set up as a new member of chassis.

Standards
This section contains technical standards that are used by Husky Robotics to streamline design work and communication.

A list of resources for learning technical skills and information that have been generously created and/or compiled by our members!
 * List of suppliers that husky robotics has experience using for a variety of robot components and peripherals. If you're sourcing something and don't know where to get it, check here first.
 * Running list of useful videos for learning metalworking compiled by our resident youtube machining addicts
 * Overview of Hyperelastic material models. These are versatile for predicting large-strain behavior of elastomers.

Members
Write yourself a bio on your user page and post a link here! This will help people know who you are, what you work on, and what they can ask you for help with.

Current Documentation
The current documentation of all rovers currently being designed or used! This is your home base for keeping track of everything you are designing, or learning about the designs of other engineering groups on Husky Robotics.

PLEASE READ the Documentation Page Standard before adding or editing any documentation pages. It is crucial that this section remains highly organized and navigable to maintain its utility as a knowledge repository.

For creating curriculum standards - as in pages that you want people to read in order to learn - check the Curriculum Page Standard for an idea of what to include and how to effectively communicate with new members.
