Re: Rookie Programmer Seeking Advice

One way that I would suggest is just, in your free time, come up with some arbitrary tasks for your robot to do, or some different combinations of tasks, and just program those tasks. In my opinion, the only true way to get better at programming is constant practice and repetition. Also if you come up with a task that you are unsure how to program, explore that, the internet is your friend.

Another way to improve your programming is to find code from other teams or sources, and just go through it. Try to understand what occurs and what code causes that particular function to occur. Really there are many ways to get better at programming, so these are just my ideas.
