Re: Please open source your code!

(I forgot to mention that 166's code is only C++, but we DO use a little bit of python to parse the memory logs)

Max, are you suggesting creating (basically) the same code but for all four languages? As awesome as that sounds, there are a couple of problems with it, namely, different languages might make it easier to do some things than others. For example, I haven't seen any way to create multiple "tasks" in Labview like you can in C++, but the way the language itself is set up you might not even need them - just stick the code in parallel lines and it'll execute round-robin style multitasking. (I'm not an expert in Labview, so I may be wrong)
This just boils down to "what would this open source code do that would be better than the default code for that language?" Remember, we wouldn't be able to write too much code the same unless the robots were the same.

That said, if there are some actual guidelines written up by the teams participating, and the goals clearly stated, then it MAY work.
