+
+## 8033 specific
+
+- [ ] Update the [Electronics crash course](Docs/2_Architecture/2.2_ElectronicsCrashCourse.md). Generally, try not to remove anything, but note devices we've moved towards or away from.
+- [ ] Update examples to reflect best practices for code organization and structure. This is sort of nebulous, but something like no AKit --> AKit, or no superstructure --> superstructure would warrant an update
+- [ ] Update with libraries/other tools we've started/stopped using
+- [ ] Any specific feedback you have received this year
+- [ ] For 2027: Update with roboRIO --> SystemCore transition info
