Re: Summer ideas for new programmers?

I'd suggest that you use the examples and simulator to work on more sophisticated robot techniques. You can do things like make PID loops to drive a fixed distance from a wall, integrate sensors and more advanced techniques for both auto and tele. You can debug, profile, and get more comfortable with the programming tools in LV this way as well.

Similarly, look over the Java examples and build some projects with it, possibly using the linux based simulator. This will also allow the two of you to compare the languages, the libraries, the learning materials, and benefit from the combination. If you have questions, feel free to post.
