Resource Index

Central hub for game manuals, vendor documentation, external tools, team repositories, and downloadable reference sheets.


  • Comms Relay — Team discussion forum (Discourse) — [Add URL]
  • snippetz404 — Code snippet sharing and collaboration

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

  1. Drop the PDF (or image/zip) in static/files/ (create subfolders if needed: static/files/mechanical/, static/files/software/).
  2. Use lowercase, hyphenated filenames: mechanical-checklist-v1.pdf.
  3. Add a bullet link under the appropriate section below.
  4. Commit and push.
  • 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

  1. When new resources are discovered, add them to the appropriate section above.
  2. Test links quarterly to catch dead links; update or remove as needed.
  3. Seasonal updates: When a new game manual or FIRST resource drops, add it to the current season section above.
  4. For internal files: Follow the folder structure under static/files/ (see section below).

Replace placeholders with real assets as they are added.
