Re: Teaching Java

Hey WeiWei333 we start our java programers of programming the tank drive system of a past robot. You may or may not have a robot (and all the components to make it work) but setting up a basic chassis laying around wheels, electronics, and frame is how we get our whole team wide rookie team members to get into the groove of the team. We start our rookie programmers backlogging and making old robots work this includes imports, joysticks, talons/jags, and connections. Then we get into buttons, running motors from buttons, solenoids, ect. Our team is running on alot of people going out and finding out how to do it themselves. It may help..

From what I understand about FRC switching from netbeans to eclipse is they are "officially" suggesting eclipse because it is more "realistic" I don't buy it but that's the official statement. Our team plans on using netbeans till the day we die!!! NETBEANS OR DEATH! or till they not support it at all anymore. From what we've seen they will still release the plugins for netbeans and it is supported but you are more likely to see more bugs and glitches on the FRC end.
