Yea, i managed to get the robot working within a few hours of getting to our first regional. and that hour was spent updating netbeans to work with the updated cRIO that was updated literally probably the night before it left. What i was happy about this year was that we managed to salvage last years chassis and built an electronics board that could be taken on and off and used on either chassis, new or old. problems were that, while programs worked on one, no two robots are exactly alike.
