What belongs in a shared robot club notebook?

I'm helping our club organise its Python exercises. No robot connected yet, just examples on laptops. I can write down what I tried, but I don't know what the next person would need to reproduce it. Would a screenshot of the result and the script be enough? Trying not to create a notebook everyone politely ignores.

I'd want the exact command and the Python environment too. A screenshot shows what you saw, but I can't run a screenshot. Keep a tiny input with an expected output so the next person has something concrete to compare

Keep the failed attempt if it explains a choice. Not every terminal message, just enough to stop the next person repeating the same detour.

Thank you. I was saving the successful screenshot and deleting the bit that explained how I got there. I'll try one exercise with the command, environment, small input and the wrong turn. See whether another club member can follow it before I document the lot.

Label deliberately broken inputs as exercises. Don't let someone mistake one for a supplier's documented example.
