Re: Programming teams
Currently I am the only programmer for the past two years (we were a rookie team last year). However, after the competition I will train a junior before I graduate so our team isn't at a disadvantage next year. After a flash drive problem a week ago, I have switched the code to a dropbox folder, which should provide collaboration for the future.

I have typically had around a week to program the robot before ship date, so I can get most of the code working, and tweak it before competition. But as I like to say, Thursday is first day of competition AKA last build day AKA first day programmers have time with the robot.
