Re: Programming dumbed down even more.

If anyone is bored and wants a challenge build your robot mechanical systems in a strange way and make programming synchronize 2 PID loops to make it work at all.

I bet you'll not be bored much longer once you start

or

Write your own vision system from scratch. No shortcuts like OpenCV get down and dirty.

I know FIRST teams can do these things so I am not setting anyone up for something impossible. Just demonstrating that FIRST hardly is short on challenges.
