Here are some ideas:
* Create a video of your project, especially your final presentation and your robot’s performance.
* Explain some important features of your software program.
* Produce a building guide for your model by taking a series of photographs as you deconstruct it.
* Include an image of your program with comments.
* Add a team photograph!
