Programming for money
To all teams,
The team that I mentor is going to program team's robots for money. We need the money in order to compete next year. If you team needs their robot to be programmed please let me know. |

Against gracious professionalism? Not sure if this is a troll or not because you only have one post.

The point of frc is to learn... not to pay someone else to do work for you, that's school. |

Seems anti first to me.

Re: Programming for money
This sort of goes against Gracious Professionalism, but it certainly goes against the spirit of FIRST. A better strategy (more inline with FIRST values and GP) would be charging to TEACH students programming.

Re: Programming for money
I'm sure there are plenty of teams that have provided compensation to another team or a sponsor in exchange for, say, machined parts.
Just because something is new/strange/you don't like it doesn't mean it is "anti FIRST" or "un GP". That said, I think the OP could have proposed his/her idea a bit better and don't think it is feasible to completely program and debug a different teams robot from scratch in a reasonable timeframe :) |
Re: Programming for money
I don't think it is un GP necessarily... that said I wonder if that was allowed why can't we just go to the top robotics firms in the world and say "Here's a fist full of cash, design us a robot. We will be back in 6 weeks to pick it up".

I would fully expect any team taking up this offer to include the cost of the services on the BOM - you're purchasing a part (code) for the robot. For what it's worth, my team is willing to help any other team figure out their code and teach them a few things along the way. We've been do it free for many years now, and annually present to a room full of other team sat the MN Splash event in December all we know about programming robots in java. |
Re: Programming for money
Stop throwing around words like non or un GP. Not all teams have ready resources or even students who want to learn programming.
If a team wishes to use their resources to hire someone to help them with something it's their choice. |
