Just out of curiosity, why don't you like Command-Based?
Mainly just because i'm more familiar with the iterative format than the event-driven format and my mentors are much more familar with iterative so they know about as much as i do.

If you don't like command-based programming, I highly recommend that you use RobotBuilder to take care of the code's structure. It will be much simpler to use and understand.
why? RobotBuilder seems like all you do is just input a few values to move jags and it builds the code for you, which is not my style of coding... ive been coding for three years im familiar with the layout but its just that Smartdashboard is restrictive with its methods
