Re: Conflicting Rules?

You've got a very good point in the conflicting rules on paper. Over the past year or two as one of the lead programmers it actually does kind of make sense on paper; you shouldn't have a robot, and therefore you probably won't be able to code for it. Most teams skirt this with a testbed platform for their programmers, and keep the cRIO for the withholding allowance to facilitate coding.

Also, I'm pretty sure if you went to any "real world" programmers and said they do fabrication, they would either drag you into a lengthy debate on the subject or stuff you in the nearest cramped space.
