Re: RobotBuilder

I didn't even know this tool existed... This will be an amazing help once build season starts, if only to keep us accountable to the high-level design. I do have one issue though, and I'd like to request a feature.

My request is to have an option to export to the same directory where the .yml is stored. I'd like to be able to store it in a git repository with the rest of the project, but currently there are two problems: a) the export path is absolute, meaning that if two people clone the same repository in different places, they'll have to maintain separate export paths (almost more trouble than it's worth), and b) when I tried to trick RobotBuilder into exporting into a relative path by changing the .yml to use "." as the export directory, it output to the directory I was running it from (~/sunspotfrcsdk/tools/). While this second behavior makes sense from an implementation standpoint, it isn't helpful to users like myself and makes what would otherwise be a tremendously useful tool sadly impractical.

If any of you know how to contact the devs with feature requests, let me know how or just point them to this post!
