Re: Please open source your code!

Team 166 hosts all our code on Googlecode, so it's constantly available at http://code.chopshop166.com - It contains code for our main robot (chopshop11) as well as a bunch of random code in paradebot10 - we never changed the name of it - to run different things on our demonstration robot - drive and grill.
The main body, though is the competition code, which runs on top of our Framework that we've developed over the last two years. The entire system runs in parallel, and has a special class set up to read data from each task as well as from the "physical" joysticks, which allows us to override joysticks with ease, simply by simulating them like so:
Code:
proxy->set("joy1bt", true); // This sets the trigger (JOYstick 1, Button Trigger) to true
We've also been working on improving our logging system to make it as simple to use as possible, as well as some other neat things, like automatic newpress checking and TWO different ways to create a Task with more safety and useability than the default VxWorks tasks. (One of which plays very nicely with C++0x's Lambda functions...or it would if we could use them...)
