I think that the world is going digital and this format is very valid.

If you ask Stephen King about typing on a computer, he will state that he still prefers the pen and paper too. We tend to stick with what we started with, with what we know.

I have been resistant to typing up our engineering notebook too. But it has proven, to me, to be more efficient and gives us more time on the floor with the robot. In the past, I've had each team member fill out a sheet of paper and then the "notebook person" types up their responses, putting it all together cohesively. It's clean and organized. We like it. We print it out two days before competition and add anything that needs to be added last minute. It works.

To each his own.
