Best Practices

Page

It is a PLEASURE to make web for robot enthusiasts.

You are such nice, polite, helpsome, innovative, fun, creative, tolerant and patient people. Really nice, thank you!

Here are a few "Best Practices", that if followed by everyone, everyone else will get a better web.

If you disagree in anything or have better ideas, please let us know, we are in this as much as you :)

Components:

If you are submitting a robot or in fact anything - where you are describing "a component", please do it like this:

  1. Just write your text, such as "I was using a tilt sensor to see if the bot tipped over". Submit.
  2. Enter the components list (see top-menu). See if your component is on the list. If it is not, then please enter the component there. If it is already there, entered by someone else, you can in fact edit it. Feel free to edit the text - even if it is written by someone else, if you think you have better info than what is written in the body-text of the component. Wiki-style. You are also welcome to add more images etc. You can also just ad notes such as "It can also be reverted / Dan". If you have more personal things to say such as "I hate tilt-sensors", or "have anyone used this under water?", you should not edit the text, but write a comment as usual.
  3. Note the URL (Link / web-address) of the component / copy it
  4. Go back to your post, edit it, and make your "component" a link.

Thank you!!

Reason: This way we can keep better structure, and make it easier, so that people reading your post can actually get ALL info regarding an interesting component that you have used

Comments and feedback:

Most things on LMR can be commented, directly on the page.

Please do not start topics anywhere else, ex on the forum, regarding something that can be commented right at the source - it makes it harder for people to find any structure.

Code-examples

Webmaster has been asked to ask everyone to keep this practice:

If the code can be attached the post, please do so - only if it makes the content more readable, you should paste code directly into the text.

Reason: We get some pretty long pages when code inserted in text :)
