Cookbook
========

The PyLabRobot Cookbook is a curated collection of concise, modular code 
examples, called recipes, that demonstrate practical solutions to common lab  
automation challenges.
Each recipe is short, focused, and reusable - designed to help 
you apply specific PyLabRobot features in real-world contexts.
Rather than full experimental protocols, these recipes aim to inspire, 
teach, and accelerate your own automation workflows.
