Re: Please open source your code!

All that being said, 3266's code is extremely messy, but I'll release it how we used it at Buckeye. Maybe I'll put up a cleaner version along side it, just so you guys won't associate me as the kid who writes nested ifs EVERYWHERE!
I read the rule as if it is publicly available to every other team (hosted on a web site) then you can use the exact same code...that's what we plan on doing. seeing as how we will have one experienced programmer next year, it should help him out a lot. I have been our main programmer, along with one other kid, and our main mentor for software was my dad (I taught him LabView basics, then we both leaned together). The Library should help seeing as I won't be anywhere close so I can help, the other programers will at least have starting blocks.
