+# Hello Landon, this is your past self here. I'm trying not to screw you over like I usually do, so I will
+# set out the workflow I've imagined for creating new submission types.
+# First of all, you will need to write new parsing methods in backend.excel.parser to pull information out of the submission form
+# for the submission itself as well as for any samples you can pull out of that same sheet.
+# Second, you will have to update the model in backend.db.models.submissions and provide a new polymorph to the BasicSubmission object.
+# The BSO should hold the majority of the general info.
+# You can also update any of the parsers to pull out any custom info you need, like enforcing RSL plate numbers, scraping PCR results, etc.
