Under Public select Featured, you should see Project wiki near the top of the list of featured templates; select that template. For help with customizing the Template, see this link or maybe this one. A Google search will produce many other useful guides.

2.Project Homepage

As demonstrated in the Sample Project wiki, your project homepage should contain a brief introduction to your project including an image of theSolidWorks 3D model or hand-sketch depicting your proposed bot. Extra credit points (see points breakdown below) are awarded for a SolidWorks model.The image should represent the bot you intend to build which may not be identical to your final bot.
