How This Works
All PDF and file assets are stored under static/files/ so they are served at the site root.
Example path mapping:
- Repository file:
static/files/design-review-template.pdf - Public URL:
/files/design-review-template.pdf - Markdown link:
[Design Review Template](/files/design-review-template.pdf)
Adding a New File
- Drop the PDF (or image/zip) in
static/files/(create subfolders if needed:static/files/mechanical/,static/files/software/). - Use lowercase, hyphenated filenames:
mechanical-checklist-v1.pdf. - Add a bullet link under the appropriate section below.
- Commit and push.
Recommended Subfolders
static/files/software/– software architecture diagrams, message bus maps.static/files/mechanical/– mechanism drawings, mounting patterns, maintenance sheets.static/files/electrical/– wiring standards, inspection checklists.static/files/ops/– event procedures, scheduling, sponsorship deck exports.static/files/branding/– logo packs, media guidelines.

How to Add & Maintain
- When new resources are discovered, add them to the appropriate section above.
- Test links quarterly to catch dead links; update or remove as needed.
- Seasonal updates: When a new game manual or FIRST resource drops, add it to the current season section above.
- For internal files: Follow the folder structure under
static/files/(see section below).
Replace placeholders with real assets as they are added.
