Re: "The Little Things" - Helpful hints for all

Any code with 10 minutes of driver practice is better than PID-controlled omni-directional speed-curved code without driver practice. That being said, leftmotor = joystick1.y and rightmotor = joystick2.y should be the starting point, not the ending point for drive code.

Don't be ashamed to switch to an easier strategy. For example: this year, if you were scoring less than 50% (which many teams were) in the 3-point goal, switch to the 2-point goal.

Never leave a competition before alliance selections have finished.

Don't cause silly penalties.

Make sure that at least 2 programmers understand any given section of code.
