Robocoders on the older courses keep an Academy Logbook. The Robocode stamp goes in it for each achievement. The specialism below is on its Specialisms page, awarded as the book says.
A Robocoder’s badge book is also a portfolio of the real projects they have built, to use later in life.
The page shown is the Specialisms page of the Academy Logbook.
