I can't speak for the team as a whole but the programming department is looking at:
- Potentially switching to Java from LabVIEW as well as redeveloping our LabVIEW code to make it easier to use with Mercurial and SCM through modularization of code
- Continuing Arduino integration for LED control
- Developing an Android FRC scouting app with picklist integration
- Creating a Java program to automatically scrape team data and generate our scouting spreadsheet and picklist equations
- Catching miscellaneous things on fire
- Building a library of common code elements that we have used over the years and publishing it for use by other teams
As well as numerous other activities I have doubtlessly forgotten about.
